Tape Log
The tape log tells you which tapes were written to during a backup, as well
as the date, time, and description of events that occurred.
To display the tape log for your tape drive:
1 Using the NetStorage web interface, click on the Backup/Restore tab,
then select Tape Status > Tape Log.
2 A screen displays the events on the backup tape. If a backup is in
progress, click Bottom to see the most recent information in the tape
log.
You can get more information from the tape log by clicking on the buttons
labeled Top, PgUp, PgDn, and Bottom.

Creating and Executing Backup Jobs
You can only back up volumes to your backup device, not individual files
or directories. You can store only one backup job on a tape, regardless of
how much data you are backing up. The backup tape does not allow you to
access directory information.
You do not need to format tapes for a backup. However, before you perform
a backup, make sure:
n
your tapes are not write-protected
n
you have enough tapes for the backup
n
you loaded the tapes in the correct order
Note
You may need to maximize your browser window to see the entire Tape
Backup screen.
To create a new backup job:
1
Using the NetStorage web interface, click the Backup/Restore tab, then
select Tape Backup.
2 Click Create a new job and enter a name for the job.
3
Select the volume(s) you want to back up.
