5.2 Performing a Trial Back-up
Complete the following steps to perform a trial back-up and verify the tape drive
has been correctly installed:
• Insert a cartridge. Push the cartridge completely into the system. The tape will
load automatically.
• Choose a sample file set from the host computer.
• Perform a back-up and then restore the file set. The system has been correctly
installed if the back-up is completely restored without any errors. If you
experience errors, doublecheck the drive’s configuration and setup, using the
ideas provided in “Troubleshooting” on page 5-17. After you have exhausted
all troubleshooting alternatives, contact your service representative.
• Press the Eject button to unload the cartridge. If you are unsure which button
is the Eject button, refer to Figure 5-1 on page 5-11.
NOTE: You can review specific instructions for loading a tape
cartridge in Appendix A, “Super DLTtape I Data
Cartridge,” and Appendix B, “DLTtape IV Data
Cartridge.”
