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.
Veritas does support snapmirror to tape, however I havn't used it via veritas.
the command to do it directly is
snapmirror store repository_sata rst0a,rst1a where repository_sata is the volume and rst0a,rst1a the array of tape drives to use.

SnapMirror, SnapMirror to Tape will support retention of the

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
