Verify Installation With TapeAssure
HP TapeAssure is a software utility that tells you quickly and easily whether your
configuration is correct and whether the tape drive is ready for use with backup
software. Your backup software must be TapeAlert compatible for you to receive
these messages (compatible packages will display the HP TapeAlert logo). For the
latest list of backup packages that support TapeAlert, refer to HP’s World Wide
Web site (http://www.hp.com/go/tape).
