Travan

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Travan

A backup tape technology from Imation Corporation, Oakdale, MN (www.imation.com). Travan evolved from the QIC family of tapes, but uses .315" wide tape rather than quarter inch (the QI in QIC). It also uses different tape guides and improved magnetic media for higher capacities. With Network Series (NS) drives, which provide hardware compression and read-while-write features, Travan migrated from desktop backup to server backup. Travan drives may be compatible with QIC, QIC-Wide and QIC-EX cartridges, but it varies from model to model. See QIC and magnetic tape.
