<p>A backup method relies on a single secondary storage device (100), such as a tape storage device, which emulates multiple secondary storage devices (119,120,122). The emulated secondary storage devices are coupled to data sources. Data which is received from the data sources is tagged with respective unique identifiers (124,126,128), interleaved (118) and stored on a removable storage medium, such as a tape (130). This facilitates maximum usage of the media access bandwidth of the single secondary storage device.</p> |
