home.htm
.
Note
If you do not have a web browser, see the
Readme.txt
file.

Select the required language to display the Welcome page. You may like to
add this page to your Bookmarks/Favorites for easy, subsequent access to
items on the HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM.

Select the appropriate link from the Welcome page. You will find backup
software and drivers under the “Software” topic, and electronic User’s
Guides, frequently asked questions and ordering information under the
“User Documentation” topic.
Note for UNIX Users
With some UNIX systems you may have problems reading the HTML files.
When you mount the CD-ROM, if the file names have a version number
and are all in capitals (for example, README.TXT;1), use the
cdcopy.sh
utility that you can find in the UNIX directory on the CD-ROM. This utility
ensures that all file names and links work correctly in the HTML pages.
Run the command as follows:
cdcopy.sh /mnt /toplevel
where
/mnt
is the CD mount point and
/toplevel
is a new directory in
which the files will be created.
Drivers
For detailed information about drivers, refer to the appropriate README
file in the
DRIVERS
directory on the HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM. There is
a separate sub-directory for each operating system. The tape drive must be
installed before installing the driver.
Backup Software
To use the tape drive, you will need a backup application or utility that
supports your tape drive model. The HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM contains
free backup software for use with Windows 95/98, Windows NT and Novell
