Z-DATdump is a software that allows for automatic or scheduled copying of entire folders to streamer drives, including TRAVAN, VXA, DAT, MLR, SLR, DLT, QIC, LTO, Ultrium, AIT, or DDS tape drives, enabling quick and effortless data storage, copying or archiving.

With its easy-to-use interface and command-line parameters, the program can be easily controlled and scheduled via the Windows built-in Task Scheduler or an advanced task and backup scheduler called Z-Cron. Z-DATdump was developed to copy data to tape with ease and reliability. The program's deliberately simple design makes it perfect for employees as well as administrators.
Z-DATdump is a cost-effective alternative when it comes to copying data quickly and efficiently to tape. It can be easily installed and configured, and the user interface is well-structured. The software allows for the definition of up to five file lists, which makes it easy to quickly dump a manually created dump-list to tape. With the integrated 1-click dump function, you can create desktop shortcuts for backup jobs, so you can start a tape backup quickly and comfortably.
Z-DATdump offers different options to choose your data for tape copy, such as 1:1, incrementally or differentially. You can also enable a Fast CRC check if you want to verify the stored data after the tape backup. One of the major benefits of the software is its control via command-line parameters, which allows for integration into other applications, batch files, and scripts.
In summary, Z-DATdump is an excellent software for anyone who wants to copy data to tape quickly and easily. It offers a simple and user-friendly interface, customizable settings, and integration into task and backup schedulers. The ability to control it via command-line parameters makes it highly versatile and suitable for various applications.
