Creating Object to Tape Jobs

To write object storage data to tape, configure an object to tape job. The backup job defines how, where and when to back up data from the object storage. One job can be used to protect data from one or more types of object storage. Jobs can be started manually or scheduled to run automatically at a specific time.

With this wizard, you can create an object to tape job or a GFS object to tape job.
