roulement de bandes

French to English Tech/Engineering Computers: Systems, Networks data back up
In a hosting framework agreement:

"Sauvegardes/restaurations

Les données soumises à sauvegardes sont gérées via divers systèmes en fonction des besoins (sauvegardes sur lecteurs LTO, DLT, SDLT connectés localement sur les serveurs ou via SAN mutualisé Société X, etc.) Les données ainsi sauvegardées font l'objet d'un roulement qui permet d'obtenir un maximum de sécurité en terme de conservation de données :

1 roulement de 4 bandes quotidiennes : mardi, mercredi, jeudi, vendredi
1 roulement de 5 bandes hebdomadaires chaque lundi
1 roulement de 6 bandes mensuelles un lundi par mois

L'ensemble des sauvegardes est stocké dans un local prévu à cet effet chez Société X. De plus, un jeu de sauvegardes est placé à l'extérieur chaque semaine."


("Société X" is in the placeholder for the name of the company in question.)

I believe that "bande" is translated as "tape", but I don't know if we would say that the tapes are "rolled", or something else. Thanks in advance for your ideas. Target is American English.

They exchange the tapes to keep back-ups of different ages available.
Peer comment(s):

agree Tony M : Ah yes, now that makes a lot of sense! Do note though that it's not so much a 'dialy rotation' as a 'rotation' of 'daily' backup tapes...

Yes, you're right. Daily tapes: a tape for Monday, a separate tape for Tuesday...
agree SusanMurray : going back 20 years ago that is the system we used where I worked. Forgive me for this nostalgic moment!!
