DATA CARTRIDGE STORAGE
Always store data cartridges in a clean location under the specified storage conditions.
Enabling the write-protect feature is recommended when storing data cartridges.
When storing data cartridges for an extended period of time, data should be read
periodically in order to ensure that restoration from backup data is possible at all times.
Storing data cartridges in a different location from the system is recommended.
If both master and spare data cartridges are kept, storing each in a different location is
recommended.
DEFINING BACKUP AND
RECOVERY-FROM-ACCIDENT SEQUENCES
To define the backup sequence, be sure to schedule the backup on the assumption that
the data saved in the data cartridge must always be recovered at the occurrence of an
accident. The first step of operating the backup system is to define the correct sequence of
backing up and restoring the data saved in the cartridge.
Establish the recovery-from-accident sequence and make sure periodically that the
sequence is operated correctly.
