The Z-DATdump application was designed to backup (time-controlled as well) any data into the first tape drive in the employed computer system. Z-DATdump was tested with the following tape drives: TRAVAN, SLR, MLR, QIC, LTO, AIT, DLT or DAT tape drives which have a SCSI, IDE or a USB connection. Z-DATdump was developed to copy data to tape easily and reliably. The complexity of the program was deliberately kept to a minimum, which makes it easy to use for an employee as well as an administrator. Z-DATdump is a cost-effective alternative when it comes to quickly and easily copy your data to tape. The tape dump software is easily installed and configurable with a well-structured user interface. Up to five dump lists can be defined, and it allows for quickly dumping a manually created dump-list to tape. With the integrated 1-click dump function, you can create desktop shortcuts for dump jobs, so you can quickly and comfortably start a tape dump without even using the software. Z-DATdump lets you choose your data 1:1, incrementally or differentially for tape copy. A Fast CRC check can optionally be enabled if the stored data should be verified after the tape dump. A big advantage of the tape software is the control via command-line parameters, which allows for integration of Z-DATdump into other applications. Z-DATdump can copy complete folders, automatically or with a schedule, for transport, copy, or archiving to streamer drives. That means fast and automatic data storage to: TRAVAN, SLR, MLR, QIC, LTO, AIT, DLT, DAT, or DDS tape drives with a SCSI, IDE, or USB port. The program features an easy to use interface and can also be controlled via command-line parameters. That allows for a time-controlled copy using the windows built-in task scheduler or Z-Cron.   Note: free only for personal use
