3. Select the attached tape drive from the pull-down list, the required physical slot if it is a tape
library, the required verify/compare option and whether the physical cartridge should be unloaded
after the operation completes.
NOTE:
A Full Verify reads the data back after copy and compares it byte-by-byte with the original.
A Quick Verify also reads back the data, but only ensures that it can be read. It may save
some time if another tape device on the HP D2D Backup System is being accessed at the
same time as the copy operation.
No Verify is the fastest option.
NOTE:
On physical tape libraries the unload after completion option moves the cartridge to the
mail slot, if the mail slot is enabled and empty.
4. Click Create .
NOTE:
You cannot select a cartridge from a Replicating Target Library for export. The Role column
in the Devices section tells you what sort of library you have selected.
5. The process warns you that the cartridge data on the HP D2D Backup System will be removed
once it has been exported. You must click OK to continue. It also checks that media is loaded in
the attached tape storage device and that it is blank. If it is not blank, you are given the option
of overwriting it or canceling the job. Finally, it checks that there is cartridge data in the slot to
be exported (it may have been subsequently moved by the backup application.)
NOTE:
In the case of libraries some of these checks can only be made after loading the cartridge
in a tape drive, which takes approximately one minute.
6. The Job Status page is displayed and you can view progress in the final column.
7. Once the export completes successfully, the cartridge is removed from the mail slot.
NOTE:
If you cancel the process, remember to use the backup application (or the Web Management
Interface) to move the cartridge back from the mail slot to the cartridge slot.
To import from attached tape storage device
An import operation may be performed on a physical cartridge in the attached tape drive. The
cartridge is copied to the target device on the HP D2D Backup System. The operation will either
automatically create a new cartridge in the mail slot of a library device or replace the data on a
cartridge in a standalone tape drive device. The mail slot or cartridge must be empty.
