Automation allows backups to be performed hands-free - any time of the day or night and any day of the week. This frees IT staff for mission-critical tasks which require their skills and helps to reduce operating costs. With a combination of reliability features only available from HP, the HP C5648A offers unbeatable data protection. TapeAlert, an industry standard developed by HP, greatly improves reliability. It informs the backup application of the state of the drive and media and indicates any maintenance or media changes required, even from another office. The HP C5648A also offers an outstanding MTBF of 55, 000 hours and an internal cleaning mechanism which prevents head clogging. In addition, the autoloader has been designed to ensure that the magazine is always inserted correctly.
