Applications

DLTtape IV cartridges were a standard backup media choice in mid-range data center environments during the late 1990s and early 2000s. They were commonly used with Quantum DLT 4000, 7000, and 8000 tape drives for server backup, archival storage, and disaster recovery workflows. DLT technology was widely deployed in Unix, Windows NT/2000 Server, and Novell NetWare environments. These cartridges remain relevant today for organizations maintaining legacy DLT tape drives for archival data retrieval or ongoing backup operations.
