Write-protecting cartridges Use the correct media
Although DDS tape drives are fully backward compatible, old tape formats are
more abrasive than later generations and using older tape formats can reduce
the life expectancy of the tape drive. The compatibility between drive models
and cartridges is summarized in see
table 3 on page 24 . Shaded boxes show
the recommended media for each tape drive. Capacities assume a
compression ration of 2:1.
5.2 Write-protecting cartridges
If you want to protect the data on a cartridge from being altered or overwritten,
you can write-protect the cartridge.
Always remove the cartridge from the tape drive before you change the write
protection.
– To write-protect a cartridge, slide the tab on the rear of the cartridge so that
the recognition hole is open.
– To write-enable a cartridge, slide the tab back so that the hole is closed.
Write-protection will not protect your cartridges against magnets (or bulk
erasers).
