DAT tape drive (option)
It is recommended to regularly make a backup of the software on
the system hard drives. A DAT tape drive is one of the simplest and
most convenient methods. The drive can be obtained from your
supplier as an upgrade kit. A brief installation guide is give in the
chapter,
‘Drive upgrades’.
Operating system software can be easily reinstalled from the master
software disks or CD-ROMs, but created data from a multitude of
server users can not be easily replaced. The common backup
method is to use two or three tapes in rotation, either weekly, daily
or even twice daily for large organisations with complex networking.
