Removable Storage and Backup

Systems with a few stand-alone drives and a single Removable Storage-aware application usually require no Removable Storage administration. Systems with more complex configurations, such as those with tape or optical disk libraries or with multiple Removable Storage-aware applications, do require administration, however. There are also rare cases in which a Removable Storage-aware application requires some administration on a system with a simple configuration.

For information about drives and robotic libraries that are supported for use with Windows 2000, see the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) link on the Web Resources page at https://windows.microsoft.com/windows2000/reskit/webresources . Each supported robotic library has its own configuration method and options. See the HCL for the proper configuration settings for all supported drives and robotic libraries.
