The tapes from the archive can be exported for vaulting or for moving data to another location. Because the exported data is in the LTFS format, it can be read on any LTFS-compatible system.

## 1.2 IBM Spectrum Archive EE functions 

This section describes the main functions that are found within IBM Spectrum Archive EE. Figure 1-4 shows where IBM Spectrum Archive EE fits within the solution architecture that integrates with IBM Spectrum Archive LE and IBM Spectrum Scale. This integration enables the functions of IBM Spectrum Archive to represent the external tape cartridge pool to IBM Spectrum Scale and file migration based on IBM Spectrum Scale policies. IBM Spectrum Archive EE can be configured on multiple nodes with those instances of IBM Spectrum Archive EE sharing a physical tape library.
