Step 5
Choosing and Looking After Media
Your high-performance tape drive works best with high-performance
Tandberg LTO-7 media. For optimum performance always use a data
cartridge that matches the specification of your tape drive.
The recommended cleaning cartridge is the Tandberg LTO universal
cleaning cartridge. This cartridge is designed to work with any Ultrium
drive and may be used for up to 50 cleanings.
It pays to look after your media.
Many tape drive and backup failures are caused by damaged or badly
handled tape media.
•
Keep media in the case provided.
•
Follow the temperature, humidity and acclimitization guidelines on
the media packaging.
•
Avoid dropping it or rough handling, as this is likely to damage the
cartridge.
•
Inspect it regularly for damage.
•
Do not exceed normal cartridge life (260 full volume backup or
restore operations).
For detailed information on media care and best practice and to order
