| Additionally, Backup Professional, uses two channels for each connection, one is for data and is optimized for high-speed reliable transfer, while the other one is for control such as the server and client process communicating with one another. |
| Backup Professional keeps tracks of tapes inside the auto-changer and if you need to restore a file residing on a tape housed in the auto-changer, Backup Professional automatically retrieves the tape from the proper slot, loads it in the tape drive, restores the data and puts the tape back into its previous slot. |
| This means that the old backups are retired, a fresh tape label is written to the tape (using the same tape number) and the tape is used again as if it were a fresh tape. |
