Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 can simultaneously perform operations with various components of a tape device. During an operation that uses a drive (backing up, recovering, rescanning, or erasing), you can launch an operation that uses a changer (moving a tape to another slot or ejecting a tape) and vice versa. If your tape library has more than one drive, you can also launch an operation that uses one of the drives during an operation with another drive. For example, several machines can back up or recover simultaneously using different drives of the same tape library.
The operation of detecting the new tape devices can be performed simultaneously with any other operation. During inventorying, no other operation is available except for detecting the new tape devices.
Operations that cannot be performed in parallel are queued.
