File to tape job allows you to back up to tape any Microsoft Windows or Linux files. You can also write to tape Veeam backups as files.
The file to tape job compares the source files to the files stored in tape archive and copies the changes to tape. You can create both full and incremental backups of files on tape. Veeam Backup Free Edition supports file backup from any server which has been added as a managed server to the Veeam Backup console (that is, Windows or Linux server, including physical boxes). You can also archive files residing on NAS devices.
When planning file to tape jobs, consider that the job performance depends more on the number of files to back up then on the amount of data. For example, writing a large number of small files with overall size of 10GB with one job will take more time than writing one 10GB file. If your job contains an extra large number of files (like millions of files) with one job, the job performance will be affected significantly. To improve performance, consider creating several file to tape jobs.
