Remote Storage

Remote Storage runs on computers running Windows 2000 Server. There are two layers to the storage hierarchy The higher layer, local storage , is made up of the local NTFS volumes of the Windows 2000 file server hosting the Remote Storage software. NTFS volumes are managed at the root of the physical volume. The lower layer, remote storage, stores the data that has been copied from local storage.

Important

Remote Storage is available on computers running Windows 2000 Server. It is not part of Windows 2000 Professional.

Remote storage uses a single or multiple tape library. Within a single library, two drives at most are used at a particular time; one for managed data entering remote storage, and one for recalled data leaving remote storage.
