B.1.3 Installing Standalone BACKUP on a Tape Cartridge
If your system has a tape drive, Digital recommends that you keep standalone
BACKUP on a tape cartridge in case the system disk becomes damaged. To
install standalone BACKUP on a tape cartridge, use the following procedure.
Note
If you have a tape cartridge distribution kit, you already have standalone
BACKUP on a tape cartridge. If the original tape cartridge becomes
damaged or if you need to make extra copies, use the procedure in this
section.
1. Obtain a blank tape cartridge. Write the name on the paper label. For
example, you would use the name S/A BKUP V5.5–n TK85 to build a Version
5.5–n kit. Insert the label into the label slot.
