Write-protecting your DAT
After backing up data, you may want to protect the tape from being
written over. A write protect setting exists on the DAT, illustrated in
Figure 5-3. To protect the contents of the tape, use your fingernail to
move the white tab to the left. The figure below illustrates the setting
for a write protected tape. To allow data to be written on a tape, move
the white tab to the right.
Figure 5.3 Digital audio tape
The white tab must be all the way to the right in
order to record data on a backup tape.
Note:
Use correct tape drive
for backups
On systems with both a DAT drive and a cartridge
tape drive, the DAT must be used backups. Do not
use the cartridge tape drive for backups.
Damage to tape drive
Do not unload the backup tape from the tape drive
during a backup. Unloading the tape may cause
damage to the tape drive.
