<h1 class="topictitle1">Tape libraries</h1>
<div><p>Tape libraries can help you perform unattended save and restore operations, archival and retrieval operations, spool archiving, and other tape related tasks.</p>
<p>Tape libraries are often used with some form of automation software, and are capable of supporting multiple systems across different platforms and large quantities of cartridges. In these environments,
a media management application often maintains the cartridge inventory and handles most of the tape library tasks. However, you can also use tape libraries without a media management application. In these
environments the tape library can still support some automated tape functions.</p>
<p>The following topics introduce the major elements of a tape library and the related information required for implementing a tape library solution.</p>
