Major factors behind the LTO5 ultrium technology’s huge success are superior compactness, greater compatibility, reliable data security and above all, the media partitioning functionality. Before the introduction of LTO-5 technology, this feature was exclusive to disk-based backup systems. On a single tape, you can easily ...
