All SymplyPRO DIT Thunderbolt desktops feature Linear Tape File System (LTFS) support for compatibility with a myriad of backup and archive applications, ensuring data is stored in a non-proprietary format that is easy to interchange and migrate. In some use cases, LTFS can reduce the need for backup or archive software and allows users to easily interchange data using LTO cartridges or copying data to and from hard drives or SSDs.
