2.10.2. Using a single tape drive
A tape drive that is locally attached to a managed machine can be used by local backup plans as a
storage device. The functionality of a locally attached autoloader or tape library is limited to the
ordinary tape drive. This means that the program can only work with the currently mounted tape and
you have to mount tapes manually.
