Welcome to the Tape Device Certification Program!
This program is designed to test and approve a vendor's tape backup hardware against a known set of parameters to ensure compatibility for use on Linux and FreeBSD. The test results are then posted in the devices section.
The Tape Device Certification Program (TDCP) provides test for three levels of certification:
- Basic Compatibility
- Enhanced Compatibility
- Extended Functional Compatibility
All devices are tested under a set of general tools, affording a common test environment across tape device technologies. These classifications build on the previous one, and are achieved incrementally depending on the capabilities of the device being tested.
There is no relationship between the TOLIS Group, Inc.'s BRU data backup and recovery products and the TDCP test scripts.
