Unfortunately, as I found out the hard way.  In v7.0 and above you must
license the DBO option and the file-type option.  It starts at 1TB and is
tiered based upon your file type device sizes.  <rant>They caught on to our
fantastic idea of writing to disk first before writing to tape...  and now
they charge us for it</rant>.  DBO allows you to read and write from the
device at the same time, whereas the file_type only allows only one action
at a time.  DBO is a very good option, but you must have a minimum of 2-3
times your dialy backup to make it worth your while.

There are several very good threads in the archives, check them out.
