The Auto Archive option writes data to physical tape whenever a backup
application or utility moves a virtual tape from a virtual library to an import/export
slot. The physical tape library must support barcodes: the VTL software has to find a
matching barcode in the physical library in order to export a virtual tape to a
physical cartridge (you do not need to specify which physical library).
The Auto Replication option copies virtual tapes from a virtual library to
another VTL server whenever a backup application or utility moves a virtual tape to
an import/export slot.
