<h1 class="topictitle1">Choosing a tape drive for use by your Linux backup application</h1>
<div><p>This topic discusses the different tape drives to be used for a Linux<sup>®</sup> backup.</p>
<p>Linux backup
applications can either save to an iSeries™ tape drive or a tape drive directly
controlled by a Linux server somewhere in the network.</p>
<ul><li>Backing up to a native iSeries tape drive <p>iSeries tape drives can be accessed by
backup applications running on the integrated Linux server.</p>
<p>Because
an iSeries tape
drive appears to an integrated Linux server as a directly connected tape
drive, you can also save remote integrated or non-integrated Linux servers
to the iSeries tape
drive across the network using a utility such as rsync. In other words, the iSeries tape
drive behaves exactly as if it were a native Linux tape drive.</p>
</li>
<li>Backing up to a native Linux tape drive <p>If you have a Linux-based
backup infrastructure already in place, it is likely that you have tape drives
attached to standalone Linux servers in the network. Therefore, you can save
files to a tape drive attached to an integrated Linux server in the same way as you would
save files on any other standalone Linux server in the network.</p>
