The HP StorageWorks DAT autoloader family is an ideal backup solution for small to medium companies with limited IT support or remote sites of larger companies. By reducing administrative tasks, DAT autoloaders not only simplify the backup process but reduce the risk of error as well. The autoloaders include a single tape drive inside an enclosure that holds six data cartridges in a removable magazine. With the ability to store up to 72 GB per DAT 72 data cartridge (with the DAT 72x6), DAT autoloaders provide a quick, efficient means for reducing workload. The backup administrator simply loads the magazine with a week's worth of data cartridges, and the autoloader takes care of backup for an entire week. The backup routine can be customized via the backup application to suit the user's needs.

The DAT autoloader family comes with HP One-Button Disaster Recovery, providing the ability to restore the system quickly and effortlessly with the touch of a single button, eliminating the need for operating system and software disaster recovery CDs. Additional reliability features include HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L&TT) for troubleshooting and Tapealert for monitoring the drive and media.
