Sequential Operations 4
The Sequential Operations mode supports certain backup applications
that do not manage media. During backup, when one cartridge is read or
written to the end of the tape, the autoloader automatically returns that
cartridge to its designated slot and loads the cartridge from the next
higher numbered slot to the tape drive to be read or written to. This
continues until the backup software stops accessing the drive or until all
the cartridges have been sequentially accessed. The autoloader does not
move the media until the host requests the tape drive to unload.
