There is no backup software involved. Filer writes directly to tape; you will have to manually change tapes (and mark them in order) if volume does not fit on one volume.

Even if you wanted to go the route of LREP-->SnapVault-->SnapMirror, SnapMirror to Tape will support retention of the existing snapshots, where LREP will not. Something to keep in mind.
How does one use snapmirror to tape? Does it support 3rd party backup software like Veritas? Can the filer manage the tape library directly to eject and load tapes as needed. I have not seen any clear documentation about how to use snapmirror to tape in real world scenarios. Any pointers? TIA -G
