Long Term Protection without Tape drive

Firestreamer is a software utility that enables the existing tape backup software to directly access a wide range of non-tape storage media, eliminating the need for tape drives. Firestreamer can use HDD, Blu-ray, DVD, Iomega REV, network file systems and other types of media as underlying storage, exposing the pieces of media as virtual tape cartridges. The Tape drives emulated by Firestreamer are supported by DPM 2007, this way you can make a long-term protection back-up to USB* or other portable media.

*by default DPM 2007 does not support USB-drives
