Fault Tolerance
If a network link fails during tape backup operations, all traffic between the backup
server and client stops and backup jobs fail. If, however, the network topology was
configured for both Marvell SLB and switch fault tolerance, this configuration
would allow tape backup operations to continue without interruption during the link
failure. All failover processes within the network are transparent to tape backup
software applications.
