Increased capacity, steady migration,
committed industry support
Travan™technology is quickly becoming the
standard for cost-efficient, entry-level server
backup. Travan 40GB cartridges offer 20GB native
and up to 40GB compressed storage capacity.
Travan technology offers businesses a reliable,
cost-effective tape backup and storage solution.
With a clear migration path and strong industry
commitment of tier one OEMs, Travan technology is
the optimal backup solution for the growing data
storage needs of your business.
A multi-functional storage solution
The high capacity of Travan™cartridges means you
can do more than backup your data. You can use
it to offload files from your hard drive to free up
space, create an archive for near-line storage or
download files from the Internet. Whatever you’re
doing, Travan technology gives you the space you
need.
Based on proven linear technology
Any time you store data, reliability is the key. Travan
technology is based on linear recording
technology—the preferred backup solution for
millions of computer users around the world.
Easy-to-use
Backing up with high-capacity Travan cartridges
is simple. They can easily hold the entire contents
of a hard drive.
Cost-effective storage technology
The migration path to faster, higher capacity data
backup is clear, but high capital costs can keep
these powerful solutions out of reach for budgetminded organizations. With Travan technology, you
can select a high-performance backup system
without sacrificing your budget. Travan technology
offers a lower cost per gigabyte compared to
alternative solutions, such as DDS and DLT.
Scalability
Travan tape technology is designed to make it
easy to increase total capacity with incremental
improvements, not a complete overhaul. Each
generation is compatible with the previous lower
capacity. Your Travan 40GB drive can read your
Travan 20 media.

Cleaning Cartridges
Dry process cleaning cartridges are an efficient way to clean recording heads without
dismantling your tape drive. These cartridges help extend system life, minimize service calls
and maintain reliability. Cleaning is recommended after eight hours of tape movement.
Travan technology is an
ideal external backup
solution for workstations, as
well as a powerful internal
solution that can be
integrated into servers for
built-in data protection.
Due late Summer 2002

Why backup?
No matter what you consider your data integrity’s greatest threat—
viruses, hackers, power surges, theft or hard drive crashes—data
recovery costs time and money. The only proven method for combating
the risk of crippling data loss is backup. Defend your data by
practicing good backup habits.
Backup tips
Whatever your backup strategy, be sure to have enough Imation™TravanTMcartridges on hand for archiving.
Moving files to archive tapes lets you protect your data and save drive space. Do incremental backups daily and
a full backup weekly. Be sure to rotate a new Travan cartridge into your weekly schedule to further enhance your
data protection.
Store cartridges in cases and keep them away from power supplies, telephones, monitors, and other sources
of magnetic fields. It’s a prudent practice to store a complete backup off-site in case of fire, theft, flood or
other unexpected misfortune. Archiving seldom-accessed files to Imation cartridges makes efficient use of
your hard drive.
