Configuring your server for remote access  Protecting backup tapes from being overwritten

Chapter 11: Developing a Backup and Recovery Plan

Choosing backup media

Tapes are preferred as dump devices, since they permit a library of database and transaction log dumps to be kept offline. Large databases can span multiple tape volumes. On UNIX systems, the Backup Server requires nonrewinding tape devices for all dumps and loads.

For a list of supported dump devices, see the configuration documentation for your platform.
