BloomLTO

Full capability tour

Everything the archive can do.

Thirteen feature areas, from the first scan to the last restore. Search, scheduling and recovery lead — they're what make a tape library usable.

Scheduled archiving

Set it and forget it.

Pick days, a time, a library and sources. Archive runs start on their own, or run now when you need to.

And the rest

The details that keep an archive trustworthy.

04 · Tape inventory

Every tape, at a glance.

See barcode, slot, LTO generation, status, purpose and used capacity for each tape. Format, mark full, verify, run an LTFS check or duplicate with one click.

05 · Live library view

Know what is in the robot.

Live drive and slot status for the whole library, with refresh. Add more libraries and test each connection from Settings.

06 · Sources

Point it at your storage.

Choose folders or workspaces to sweep, set priorities, and watch scans with live throughput and time remaining.

07 · Manual archive tickets

Archive exactly what you choose.

Bundle specific files into a named, reusable ticket, separate from whole-folder sweeps. Retry a failed ticket without rebuilding it.

08 · Job preview

Check before you commit.

Review the target tape, file list and projected fill percentage before starting a run.

09 · Verification

Prove your tapes still read.

Re-hash a tape's contents against the catalog to confirm data is intact.

10 · Catalog backup and duplication

Protect the index and the tapes.

The database catalog backs up weekly to a dedicated tape. Cold-spare duplicate tapes guard against media loss.

11 · Alerts and email

Hear about problems first.

One alerts page lists everything needing attention. Optional email for every archive, restore, format, backup or duplication start, fail or finish.

12 · Users, roles and audit log

Give people the right access.

Admin (full access), Operator (day-to-day archiving and restoring) and Viewer (read-only). Recovery requests are logged permanently, so you can see who restored what.

13 · Reports

See how the archive is doing.

Fleet utilization, 30-day archive throughput, and job outcomes for archive runs, restores and duplications.
