Seagate Direct Tape Access CD v2.05 RARE. Seagate Direct Tape Access is an efficient storage solution that allows Windows 3.x and Windows 95 users to control vast amounts of data. Compatible with a range of tape devices, Seagate Direct Tape Access expands the uses of tape devices beyond the traditional backup applications without requiring additional investments in hardware. With Seagate Direct Tape Access, users see the tape device as a logical drive letter from within Windows 95 Explorer, Windows 3.x File Manager, or any other Windows application, similar to a hard drive or CD-ROM. Files and directories can be moved to and from the tape device with drag-and-drop operations. In addition, Seagate Direct Tape Access supports the QIC-113 format, allowing the user to read and restore files created with Seagate Software storage solutions or other backup software within the operating system–eliminating the need to perform the restore function through backup software. Backup sessions appear as a directory of files, allowing the user to open a particular file or group of files from within the application or file manager.
