See the Container Storage Engine in Archiware P5 Version 7

The new storage format in P5 version 7.0 is a real milestone. Multiple volumes are replaced with single Storage Containers to access disk and cloud storage. These containers are:

• Elastic, growing in size to accommodate data as needed
• Optimized for interacting against cloud object storage
• Support multiple write/read streams in parallel without compromising performance

Additionally, they support fine-grained recycling of backup data over time, resulting in best-of-breed backup to cloud with cost saving through lower cloud storage space usage.

Archive to LTFS Tape

Did you know that LTFS tapes can easily be managed by importing them into P5 Archive? As of P5 version 7.0, tapes now appear in the index of your choice, with full search across all volumes.

LTFS tapes written by P5 or 3rd party LTFS software are supported. Simple formatting, reading and writing of LTFS volumes for import/export is available on all our supported P5 platforms, including MS Windows and FreeBSD.
