The bottom box shows the current tape backup schedule. The tape backup will start
at the time entered under Start Time on each day of the week with a checkbox in it.
In the above example, a tape backup will be performed each weekday starting just
before 10 PM.
If any jobs are currently running when the tape backup is scheduled to begin, the
backup waits for these jobs to complete and prevents any new jobs from starting. If
the active jobs do not complete within two hours, the tape backup times out and is
canceled.
The tape backup job will temporarily freeze the database just long enough to take a
snapshot of its contents. When the snapshot has been taken, the database is reopened
for normal use and the snapshot of the appliance data is written to the backup tape.
Note that any changes made to the system at this point will not be incorporated in the
current tape backup. At the end of the tape backup the tape cartridge is automatically
ejected.
If you are backing up an HP SureStore AutoBackup PC100 appliance to an HP
SureStore DLT 80e drive, you will be prompted on the Status tab and the LCD to
insert another tape. If you do not insert the tape within one hour, the backup cancels
automatically and displays a message on the Status tab.
You can change the backup schedule by modifying the schedule (either the start time
