Note:
One Tape Only
❏
You cannot change tapes during a backup of this server, so you
must specify a set of files that will fit on one tape. Your file
system may be too large to fit on a single tape. See “Capacity”
on page 9-2 for further information. Use backup schedules to
back up different file sets at different times.
See also “Making a Disaster Recovery Backup Tape” on
page 9-7 for an additional backup recommendation, which may
or may not fit on the same tape.

On the

Drive Select
The HD Server 4000 may have up to two tape drives attached. One
can be internally installed and one can be externally attached to the
SCSI connector at the rear of the server. The default selection is
“
Drive 1
”.
For the option
Drive Select
, select
Drive 1
or
Drive 2. Drive 1
selects
the tape drive with SCSI ID 3 (the internal drive as recommended
for installation), and
Drive 2
selects the tape drive with SCSI ID 5
(the external drive as recommended for installation).
See chapter 8 for installing internal and external tape drives.
Tape Catalog
Check this box to make a listing of the files as they are backed up on
the tape. Specify a disk file to store this listing. It can help in
documenting your backup tapes. (You may also create a tape
catalog by reading the tape afterward, by using “Tape Catalog”
under the Utilities button.)
It is recommended that you create a structure and naming
convention for catalog files, especially for off-site storage.
