Applications
The QIC-Wide (Quarter-Inch Cartridge Wide) format was widely adopted in the mid-1990s for workstation and server data backup, particularly in environments running Unix workstations, Windows NT servers, and Novell NetWare systems. QIC-Wide 3080 drives and media were commonly deployed in SGI, HP, Sun, and compatible PC-based systems requiring reliable sequential tape backup. This cartridge type is still sought after for legacy system backup, data migration off aging QIC-Wide drives, and archival media projects where period-correct media is required.
