look to

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) Data Deduping
A de-duping product that could identify that 25 KB of new data and store it without the rest of the baggage could save lots of disk space. Extend that concept so that duplicate data, such as the 550-KB attachment that's in 20 users' .PST files, can be eliminated, and you could achieve staggering data-reduction factors. One group of such solutions are the data de-duping backup targets pioneered by Data Domain. These devices {look to} a backup application like a VTL (virtual tape library) or NAS device. They take their data from the backup app and do their de-duplication magic on it transparently.
注:These devices 指data de-duping backup targets。

就是指这些设备在备份应用程序中的呈现形式,例如一个移动存储设备在电脑的资源管理器中可能显示为“移动存储设备(G:)”,DVD Combo 为“DVD/CD-RW驱动器(F:)”。这个 look to (a backup application) 应该还有更好的说法。
Huijun Suo May 8, 2007:
在google 中搜索这句话(不要加引号),可以得到 look to 的其他几种说法:present oneself to..., pass oneself off to... 例如:By presenting the disk subsystem to the backup application as a virtual library... These pass themselves off to the backup program as a tape drive or a library

a backup application:备份应用->备份应用软件->备份软件
这三个版本中,最准确的是最后面的“备份软件”。
Huijun Suo May 8, 2007:
我仍然不能确定,句子本身有歧义,可能需要花时间理解其中的技术细节才能作出判断。另外,application“应用”涵盖的范围很广,不一定只能指软件。
Huijun Suo May 8, 2007:
Though I am still not very sure.
Huijun Suo May 8, 2007:
Thank you for pointing this out, it's a learning process.
clearwater (asker) May 8, 2007:
谢谢!
已知:这种设备在备份软件看来就像虚拟磁带库(VTL)或者NAS设备。

Thank you, Zhang Jian, though as clearwater points out, this is not the right answer.
