 Transferring from a XenData6 Workstation system to a XenData6 Server system For a finalized
tape, the tape catalog is automatically read by the server system and the administrator must use the
'Import Folder Structure' option to make the contents of the tape available in the server archive file
system. If the tape is not finalized, the catalog must first be built on the server system using the 'Build
Catalog' operation.
 Transferring from a XenData6 Server system to a XenData6 Workstation system For a finalized
tape, the tape catalog is automatically read by the workstation system. The tape cartridge contents
become automatically available for restore in the workstation system. If the tape is not finalized, the
catalog must first be built on the workstation system using the
Build Catalog (5.2) operation.
 Transferring from a XenData6 Workstation system to a Version 5 XenData server system Finalized
tapes created on a XenData6 Workstation system cannot be transferred to a version 5 XenData server
system. However, non-finalized tapes may be transferred. If the tape is not finalized, the catalog must
first be built on the server system and then the 'Import Folder Structure' operation should be used.
 Transferring from a Version 5 XenData server system to a XenData6 WorkStation system For a
finalized tape, the tape catalog is automatically read by the workstation system. The tape cartridge
contents become automatically available for restore in the workstation system. If the tape is not finalized,
the catalog must first be built on the workstation system using the
Build Catalog (5.2) operation.
Data is written to LTO tape each time a file is written, deleted or renamed. After writing data to a tape on a
different system and then returning it to a XenData6 Workstation system that already knows about it, the
tape catalog must be rebuilt using the Rebuild Catalog (5.2) operation
and then ‘Check Filesystem’ must be
selected.
