By &quot;tape changer&quot; do you mean an autoloader or a library? Just be aware that if its a library with more than one drive then you'll need the Tape Library Option (if it has only one backup drive but many slots then you're fine)<br />
<br />
In either case Windows should pick the device up (maybe after the installation of some drivers) and present it to BackupExec<br />
<br />
At this point you can perform backups to it as you do to the disk folder<br />
<br />
Clever stuff with the tape rotation can be done via a wizard

Symentic Backup Exec 12 with hp tape changer

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
