Performing a Trial Back-up 4
Complete the following steps to perform a trial backup and verify correct
tape drive installation:
• Insert a data cartridge. Push the data cartridge completely into the
system. The tape will load automatically.
• Choose a sample file set from the host computer.
• Create a backup file and then restore the file set. If the backup file
completely restores, without any errors, you installed the system
correctly.
Note: If a data cartridge is in place when power is turned on, all
stages remain the same except stage 3. It may take a
considerably longer time for stage 3 to complete due to tape
rewind and searching operations that occur during that stage.
