4.1 About Offline Tapes
When a tape is ejected from a drive, it becomes offline. XenData6 Workstation retains information about
the file and folder structure for all offline tapes. Of course, files cannot be restored until the offline tape is
inserted back into a tape drive.
Offline tapes are shown in the left navigation pane of Windows Explorer under 'LTO Shelf'. The folder and
file structure stored on each offline tape may be displayed in the left and right panes of Windows Explorer.
This is described further in
About LTO Shelf (4.4).
Reports may also be run to list the contents of any offline tape, list the offline tape locations for files that
meet specified file search criteria and to list the status of all offline tapes.
There is an option to remove the data about an offline tape. This is operation is performed by using the
'Forget this Tape' (4.5)
function.
