French term or phrase: bandes de stockage
Hi everyone. I hope I can get some help with this.

"Créée en 2002, la société *** propose à ses clients des bibliothèques de bandes de stockage ainsi que des appareils de stockage virtuel."

The Termium database translates this as 'storage conveyors', but it's an entirely different context and the definition given doesn't seem to fit here. I'll be very grateful if someone helped me find the right translation.

back-up tapes


Explanation:
these tapes are used for storing data, but with the main purpose being to have a back-up in case of loss of data.

As in:

Même si elle n'est pas sans contraintes, la sauvegarde en ligne est certainement le moyen le plus sûr de protéger vos fichiers personnels.
La sauvegarde en ligne, qu'est-ce que c'est ?
Ce système utilise tout simplement votre connexion à Internet pour sauvegarder vos fichiers sur un serveur distant situé chez un hébergeur. De la même manière, il permet de récupérer ces fichiers en cas de problème sur votre disque local - le disque situé à votre domicile. L'hébergeur distant joue donc le rôle de disque de sauvegarde, et la connexion à Internet symbolise une sorte de long câble pour le connecter à votre ordinateur.

neutral  cc in nyc: Maybe, but your reference is for online backup, not tape backup // OK, but the English side of the website you reference uses "online storage" for "stockage en ligne" http://www.digitalversus.com/misc/our-guide-free-online-stor...

  -> my reference is ONLY about "stockage", to show that it’s used to mean back-up /disaster recovery/, not just any archiving. The "tape/online/virtual" bit is another matter. Anyway, providing back-up IS the main reason for that kind of data storage.

magnetic tape


Explanation:
magnetic data tape. Yes, this is about tape storage, but, I feel, there is no need to use storage. Tape library (bibliothèques de bandes de stockage) would be the fuller translation. Somehow, tape storage library or storage tape library seems somewhat redundant.

disagree  Daryo: the purpose of these tapes is of primary importance - you can't just ignore it
