Date: 29 June 2015
Introduction
This document provides the Acronis Backup Advanced compatibility list for tape drives, tape libraries, and virtual tape libraries (VTLs). All devices listed have been tested and confirmed to be supported with Acronis Backup. Unless otherwise specified, listed devices are compatible with any version of Acronis Backup.
Support confirmation was achieved through testing by Acronis, participation from customers in the Acronis Customer Experience Program (ACEP), and hardware vendor software compatibility lists.
If a device is not present in this list, it may still be supported. Acronis Backup supports all SCSI-compliant devices with various physical connections (FC, SAS, USB, etc.). For more detailed information on using tape libraries, standalone tape drives, and VTLs, please refer to the User Guide.
NOTE: If your device functions correctly with Acronis Backup and you wish to contribute to this list, please contact Acronis via email at HCL-tapes@acronis.com, attaching your system information for easier processing.
While Acronis endeavors to ensure the accuracy of the information, each system and environment is unique. Acronis cannot guarantee or warrant that products will function as designed, either fully or partially. Please consult the End-User License Agreement for further details.
