Select the appropriate link from the Welcome page. You will find backup
software and drivers under the “Software” topic, and electronic User’s
Guides, frequently asked questions and ordering information under the
“User Documentation” topic.
Note for UNIX Users
With some UNIX systems you may have problems reading the HTML files.
When you mount the CD-ROM, if the file names have a version number
and are all in capitals (for example, README.TXT;1), use the
cdcopy.sh
utility that you can find in the UNIX directory on the CD-ROM. This utility
ensures that all file names and links work correctly in the HTML pages.
Run the command as follows:
cdcopy.sh /mnt /toplevel
where
/mnt
is the CD mount point and
/toplevel
is a new directory in
which the files will be created.
Drivers
For detailed information about drivers, refer to the appropriate README
file in the
DRIVERS
directory on the HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM. There is
a separate sub-directory for each operating system. The tape drive must be
installed before installing the driver.
Configuring UNIX Systems
The UNIX instructions in the electronic User’s Guide on the
HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM provide details on how to configure your
system to support the tape drive.
Backup Software
To use the tape drive, you will need a backup application or utility that
supports your tape drive model. For the latest list of backup packages that
support HP SureStore DAT drives and advanced features such as
TapeAlert, refer to our World Wide Web site (
http://www.hp.com/go/
tape
). The Selection section of this web site lists backup software solutions
suitable for your tape drive model and operating system (including
Microsoft Windows, Novell NetWare, IBM OS/2, various UNIX systems,
and Apple Macintosh).
Instructions for installing and using your backup application (and drivers,
if needed) should be supplied by the software manufacturer.
