• DAT 72 cartridges with DAT 72 tape drives
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
Table 6-1 on page 32. Shaded
boxes show the recommended media for each tape drive. Capacities assume
a compression ration of 2:1.

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).
