Backup is a graphical tool used with a variety of storage media to back up and restore files on either NTFS or file allocation table (FAT) volumes. Backup also simplifies archiving and allows you to use the Windows 2000 Job Scheduler for automating backup jobs.
Tasks such as mounting and dismounting a tape or disk are done by Removable Storage. It tracks and controls backup media, usually organized into pools, on storage devices, and allows applications such as Backup to share robotic changers and media libraries. Once started, Removable Storage is transparent to the data path, so you only need to access it when changing media, not when performing a backup or restore operation.
Note
You can back up to a file or a tape without using Removable Storage as long as the backup medium is not part of a media pool.
