plug-in if it is not installed.
Note: For best results on Linux systems, we recommend that you
upgrade to Netscape v6.x.
Note: You can also download the HTML help system from the
TapeWare website.
To launch HTML help, use your browser to open index.htm.
2. General New Features
Note: Platform-specific new features now appear in each platform's
section.
We have added the following new features:
-------- SP3B --------
1. Upgrading TapeWare also upgrades installed options
When upgrading from an earlier service pack, the TapeWare
installer now upgrades all installed options, whether they are
licensed or not. You no longer have to reinstall your various
options. For example, some customers may have been evaluating an
option. When they ran the SP3A update, it only updated the
licensed options automatically. Unlicensed options, such as the
SMTP connector, were not updated automatically.
2. TapeWare now supports disaster recovery for DRTape drives
TapeWare now includes support for tape drives using DRTape. This
feature lets you create bootable tapes to simplify the disaster
recovery process.
-------- SP3A --------
3. Autoprint Log
TapeWare can now be configured to print the log file
automatically as soon as the backup, restore or verify job is
finished. You can specify the printer and its settings, including
page range and number of copies. You can assign different
printers to different users or groups. You can also enable the
Autoprint log feature for specific jobs. Refer to Chapter 2 -
Autoprint Log in the TapeWare Addendum.
Note: In this service pack, this feature is only implemented for
Microsoft Windows and Linux (X Windows) systems.
4. TapeWare Workgroup for Windows license available for up to 10
Workstations
TapeWare Workgroup for Windows is now available with a 10-
workstation license. This license is ideal for our Workgroup
users who need to use TapeWare on more than five workstations.
5. Job log now includes slot and barcode information for autoloaders
The job log now includes slot and barcode information for
autoloaders in the media section of the log. For jobs with
multiple tapes, the log lists the slot and barcode information
for each tape.
-------- SP2B --------
6. TapeWare now supports automatic install
You can now create a custom setup file in order for TapeWare to
install itself with limited user action.
1. Create a file called autoinst.inf, as follows:
;------------------------------------------------------
; Auto install options
;------------------------------------------------------
[license]
document=3DE7FEF9-C7AFE3E7
[configuration]
serviceInstalled=Yes
regComp=CompanyName
regUser=UserName
createZone=Yes
zone=TapeWare storage zone
node=ComputerName
targetDir=c:\Program Files\TapeWare or SYS:TWADMIN or
/usr/local/tapeware
protocol=Tcp
Each of these variables represents an input field that appears
during normal installation. Replace the values to the right of
the equal sign to your specific requirements.
Enter your key code in the document variable. Enter the
appropriate target directory for your platform in the
targetDir variable.
Note: The key code that appears above is an evaluation key
code.
2. Place this file in the appropriate installation folder,
i.e., \win, \net or \lin.
3. Run the TapeWare installer.
7. TapeWare's SMTP connector can now email job logs that are larger
than 64KB
Many times a job log will be larger than 64KB. However, the SMTP
connector would limit the log to 64KB. Now you can specify the
maximum size of an email.
To change the maximum log size, add the following lines to the
TapeWare.ini file:
[smt]
sizeLimit=n
Enter the maximum size in bytes in place of n. For example, to
set the size limit to 1MB, replace n with 1048576. The default is
65536.
3. General Corrections
Note: Platform-specific corrections now appear in each platform's
section.
In addition to resolving several minor issues, we have corrected
the following:
-------- SP3B --------
1. Simple 5-tape built-in schedule changed to create a full backup for
each day
Now the simple 5-tape built-in schedule creates a full backup for
each day it runs. Previously, it created one full and four
differential backups.
2. TapeWare now asks for a correct tape after it ejects a full tape
Previously, if you selected Append to all or Append to first
tape, overwrite others for the Write mode for a backup, TapeWare
correctly ejected the tape when it was full. Then it prompted you
to re-insert the same tape. Now TapeWare asks for either a new
tape or a tape that is not full.
3. TapeWare would occasionally hang when a media became full during
large backup jobs
Some customers reported that TapeWare would occasionally hang
when a media became full. This occurred during large backup jobs.
TapeWare now handles large backups and full media conditions
correctly.
4. Incremental and differential jobs now back up database objects
TapeWare now correctly back up database objects during
incremental and differential backup jobs.
5. TapeWare now correctly manages backup jobs in installations that
use multiple tape drives
In installations with more than one tape drive, TapeWare tries to
use all available drives. When a backup job starts, it determines
whether or not it needs a second drive. Customers with this type
of configuration could experience either of the following
problems:
ú TapeWare allocates two or more tape drives for the job. The first
drive contains a tape, but the second drive is empty. As the job runs,
TapeWare asks the user to insert a tape in the second drive. If the user
clicks Abort, which temporarily removes the drive from the job, TapeWare
would hang. Now, TapeWare runs the job correctly in this scenario.
ú The media in the first drive becomes full, so TapeWare ejects the
media. Then it continues backing up to the media in the second drive.
When it runs the verification step, an error message occurs because the
media is no longer loaded in the drive. Now, TapeWare will not eject the
first media until it fills the media in the second drive.
-------- SP3A --------
6. TapeWare no longer sets the loader status to `Not active' during
startup
If TapeWare completes its initialization before the loader has
finished initializing, TapeWare no longer sets the loader status
to `Not active'.
7. TapeWare now backs up and restores symbolic links properly
At times, the target file for a symbolic link (shortcut) may be
moved or deleted. Now TapeWare properly backs up and restores
these symbolic links.
8. Microsoft Exchange Connector appears on the TapeWare Database tab
In Exchange 2000 installations, the Microsoft Exchange Connector
would not appear on the TapeWare Database tab after it had been
installed. Now it appears correctly on the Database tab if
Exchange 2000 is installed.
9. Filtering for a single media now works properly
Previously, TapeWare filters would improperly select additional
media, even if you selected only one media on the Selection
Filters screen. Now, if you select a specific media, the filters
only search the items that are stored on that media. TapeWare
does not ask for additional tapes.
10. Stream sync errors no longer occur on systems with 1GB RAM or more
Some users experienced stream sync errors on systems with 1GB RAM
or more. Now TapeWare computes the device buffer size correctly
on these systems (see Device buffer sizes below).
11. Standardized filename for Disaster Recover CD image
The default filename for the Disaster Recover CD image file is
now BOOTCD.ISO on all platforms. On Windows and Linux (X Windows)
computers, you may change this filename before creating the image
file.
12. Disaster recovery on systems using a page file larger than 2GB
Previously, TapeWare would fail during disaster recovery on
systems with a page file that was larger than 2GB. Now, disaster
recovery temporarily disables the use of page files during phases
3 and 4.
13. Displays media name during job
TapeWare creates long paths whenever you run a custom schedule.
In previous versions, you could not see the media name because
the path name was too long for the screen space. TapeWare now
replaces a portion of the path name with `.'
For example:
Media - Home\Admin Folder\Server_RC1\Zone1\daily4
now appears as
Media - Home\Admin Folder\...\daily4
14. Error 514: End of Data errors when backup job spans more than one
media
In some installations, when a backup job spans more than one
media, users could encounter Error 514: End of Data when
restoring or verifying objects that were written near the end of
the media. This problem will no longer occur on any future
backups. However, users may still encounter this error with
backups that were made with earlier service packs.
4. General Notes
-------- SP2B --------
1. Windows .NET initiative
Yosemite Technologies, Inc constantly improves TapeWare and our
plan for the future of TapeWare. Part of this is to make sure our
product takes advantage of the latest and greatest technologies.
For this reason, we have integrated the Windows portion of
TapeWare with the new Microsoft .NET compiler. As a result, this
version of TapeWare is a faster, smarter and more robust backup
solution for you from Yosemite Technologies, Inc.
2. Using multiple SCSI buses with autoloaders
If your autoloader and its devices are connected to different
SCSI buses, please see Multiple SCSI buses with autoloaders in
the updated TapeWare Linux and NetWare Installation Guide. Refer
to Accessing Online Documentation above for more information.
3. Device buffer sizes
To maintain optimal performance, TapeWare uses device buffers. It
sets a default buffer size, which it allocates evenly between
each device attached to your computer. For example, if two
devices are attached and the buffer size is 32MB, TapeWare
allocates 16MB to each device.
The default (recommended) device buffer size is 25% of physical
memory. If this amount is 32MB or more, TapeWare sets the buffer
size to 32MB. If the 25% is not exactly equal to 16MB, 8MB, 4MB,
2MB or 1MB, TapeWare sets the buffer size to the next lower
setting. For example, if 96MB is installed, 25% is 24MB, which is
not one of the options. TapeWare sets the buffer size to the next
lowest setting: 16MB.
Setting this value higher can enhance performance, especially if
more than two devices are attached to your system. TapeWare can
buffer more data in memory by reading larger amounts of data from
the disk at a time. However, do not set the buffer size to exceed
available system memory or your performance will decrease due to
excessive disk operations.
To change the device buffer size, update the following line in
the Device performance tuning section of the TapeWare.ini file:
;devBufferSize=n
Enter one of the following in bytes in place of n: 262144
(256MB), 131072 (128MB), 65536 (64MB), 32768 (32MB), 16384
(16MB), 8192 (8MB), 4096 (4MB), 2048 (2MB) and 1024 (1MB). If you
enter a different setting, TapeWare sets the device buffer size
to the next lower of these options. For example, if you enter
32000, TapeWare sets the device buffer size to 16384 (16MB).
Now, erase the semi-colon at the start of the line, as follows:
devBufferSize=n
Note: Setting device buffer size above 32MB per device will not
improve performance.
4. TapeWare loads custom device drivers
TapeWare comes with customized drivers. It automatically loads
these drivers (SCSI and ATAPI/IDE only) when you start the
TapeWare administrator or service.
If you have a SCSI tape drive, you must uninstall its device
drivers. (Do NOT uninstall the device drivers for the SCSI
controller.)
If you have a USB device, refer to Universal Serial Bus (USB)
below for more information.
5. Windows NT/2000/XP
-------- SP3B --------
1. TapeWare restores files even if the Windows administrator cannot
access the object
The Windows NT/2000/XP file system lets you restrict access to
specific files and folders. In some installations, users
restricted access by the Windows administrator, which affected
TapeWare's ability to restore these restricted files. TapeWare
now restores these files.
Note: For legal reasons, Microsoft recommends against
restricting Windows administrator access to any file or folder in
any business, corporate or other organizational environment.
2. TapeWare makes sure the user can access a Windows Cluster 2000
server drive
Due to a Windows 2000 change, TapeWare now verifies a user's
access to each drive on the Windows Cluster 2000 server before
continuing. As a result, TapeWare performance has improved.
3. Corrected issue with Unicode separator characters
Unicode separator characters no longer affect TapeWare operation
in some non-English Windows installations.
-------- SP3A --------
4. USB tape drive support for Windows 2000/XP
TapeWare now supports USB tape drives under Windows 2000/XP. See
Universal Serial Bus (USB) below for more information.
5. TapeWare now supports Encrypting File System by default
The Encrypting File System (EFS) lets users encrypt and decrypt
files to keep their files safe from intruders. TapeWare now
supports this Windows 2000/XP feature by default.
To disable EFS, change the following line in the [configuration]
section of the TapeWare.ini file:
efsEnable=No
To enable it again, change No to Yes.
6. Dynamic disks and Disaster Recovery for Windows 2000/XP
The TapeWare Disaster Recovery option for Windows 2000/XP
supports all disk configurations except those with dynamic disk
partitions.
7. "Files not to back up" feature enabled
TapeWare now automatically enables the "files not to back up"
feature under Windows NT/2000/XP. This feature lets you select
files to exclude from the backup. The Windows registry key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesN
otToBackup
To disable this feature, add the following lines to the
TapeWare.ini file:
[Ods-File System Connector]
filterRegExclude=No
To enable it again, change No to Yes.
8. Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 required for Disaster Recovery
Due to problems with registry quotes in the original Windows 2000
release, TapeWare checks your version of Windows 2000. If the
Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 is not installed, it disables all
Disaster Recovery functions. Access the following webpage link to
download the Windows 2000 Service Pack 2:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?releaseid=29423&Fe
atList=3
Note: This Internet address may change without notice.
After you install the Windows 2000 service pack, TapeWare should
enable Disaster Recovery.
9. TapeWare offers limited support for Windows NT/2000/XP directory
junctions
TapeWare offers limited directory junction support in Windows
NT/2000/XP. Directory junctions are also known as volume mount
points. If you use these junctions in your installation, TapeWare
treats each directory junction as a basic folder.
During backup, TapeWare only saves the basic access control list
(ACL) for each directory junction. It does not back up the
metadata, which is the descriptor block that tells Windows where
the directory junction is mounted or linked to. As a result,
during restore, TapeWare does not re-create the directory
junction as it originally existed. Instead, it is restored as a
simple folder with its original ACL.
Access the following link for more information on directory
junctions:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q262797
10. Windows 2000/XP Removable Storage Manager conflicts with TapeWare
If the Windows 2000/XP removable storage manager (RSM) feature is
enabled during TapeWare operation, it generates messages in the
Windows Event Log. These messages state that the TapeWare and RSM
services have not started even though they have. For this reason,
TapeWare disables RSM by default.
If your system requires RSM, you can enable it by changing the
following line in the [configuration] section of the TapeWare.ini
file:
disableRSM=No
Then you must re-enable RSM on the Component Services screen
under Windows.
11. Prevents simultaneous backup of IS and DS in Microsoft Exchange
Server 5.5
Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 does not support simultaneous
backup of the information store (IS) and the data store (DS).
TapeWare no longer lets you set up multiple streams when backing
up this version of the Exchange server.
12. Memory leak when backing up Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
When you back up a Microsoft Exchange 2000 server, the server may
experience a memory leak during the job. This is a Microsoft
problem, which is fixed in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server Service
Pack 3.
Whether or not you experience this problem, we recommend that you
download and install the service pack. Access the following link
for more information and to download the service pack:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q314952
Note: Per Microsoft, this update requires Microsoft Exchange 2000
Server Service Pack 2.
Note: Before installing any Exchange 2000 service pack, refer to
Compatibility between different Microsoft Exchange 2000 service
packs under Disaster recovery and Microsoft Exchange Server 2000
below.
13. Disaster recovery and Microsoft Exchange Server 2000
The previous TapeWare connector for Microsoft Exchange Server
2000 let you back up individual information stores instead of a
whole storage group. This caused problems with disaster recovery.
During disaster recovery, Exchange would try to play back logs
from databases that were backed up separately. These logs would
refer to non-existent databases.
To solve this problem, storage groups are now identified as
objects. Now you will back up and restore each storage group as a
single entity.
Disaster recovery procedure

Compatibility between different Microsoft Exchange 2000 service
packs
Microsoft changed the internal backup format for Exchange 2000
databases in Service Pack 2 (SP2). Consequently, you cannot
restore backups that were created under Service Pack 1 (SP1) or
earlier. Likewise, you cannot restore SP2 and later backups to
SP1 or earlier computers.

14. Installing TapeWare on Windows Terminal Server
Windows Terminal Server lets you configure individual workstation
computers as terminals to the server. To install TapeWare in this
environment:
1.Log on as the administrator; otherwise, you cannot install the
software.
2.Access the command prompt.
3.Type user change /install. This locks out other users during
installation.
4.Install TapeWare according to the installation instructions in
Chapter 2 - The TapeWare Workplace in the TapeWare User's
Guide and Technical Reference.
5.During installation, be sure to select .run TapeWare as a
service.
6.After installation, log off. Then the other users can access
the Terminal Server again.
15. Language text display on later phases of Disaster Recovery
The final phases of Disaster Recovery in Windows installations
are not displayed in Japanese. Due to font problems, these
screens appear in English on Japanese installations. However, all
files will be recovered with their correct names in their correct
locations. The final phases of Disaster Recovery in all other
languages display correctly.
Also, during the final phases of Disaster Recovery, some non-
English characters may display as black boxes on the log screen.
You can ignore this. It will not affect file names and locations.
16. New minimum requirements for Windows NT 4.0
The Microsoft Foundation Class Library (MFC 7.0) that TapeWare
uses has new dependency requirements. As a result, the minimum
requirements for TapeWare have changed for Windows NT 4.0 users.
TapeWare now requires the following:
ú Microsoft Windows NT Service Pack 6a, which includes the new Active
Accessibility dynamic-link library (oleacc.dll).
ú Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x or above, which includes the common
controls dynamic-link libraries (shlwapi.dll).
17. Disaster Recovery for Windows 2000 Small Business Server
After performing disaster recovery on a Windows 2000 Small
Business Server, you cannot use the Small Business Server console
tools. Microsoft registers the short path names for the SBS
program files (DLLs) in its registry instead of long path names.
To resolve this problem, run the following from the command
prompt immediately after a disaster recovery:
regsvr32 "c:\program files\microsoft
backoffice\Management\BOMsnap.dll"
regsvr32 "c:\program files\microsoft
backoffice\Management\BOHome.dll"
6. Windows 9x/Me
-------- SP3A --------
1. Language text display on later phases of Disaster Recovery
The final phases of Disaster Recovery in Windows installations
are not displayed in Japanese. Due to font problems, these
screens appear in English on Japanese installations. However, all
files will be recovered with their correct names in their correct
locations. The final phases of Disaster Recovery in all other
languages display correctly.
Also, during the final phases of Disaster Recovery, some non-
English characters may display as black boxes on the log screen.
You can ignore this. It will not affect file names and locations.
2. Disaster Recovery limitations
While TapeWare supports most Windows 9x/Me functionality, it has
the following limitations:
ú Protected-mode 32-bit disk drivers must control all disks and
volumes. Real mode drivers are not supported. To determine if your
system uses only 32-bit drivers:
a.Right-click the My Computer icon. A popup menu appears.
b.Select the Performance tab.
If any 16-bit real mode drivers are in use, Windows indicates
that your system is not optimally configured. This is common
for most systems.
ú The tape device must use a 32-bit protected mode driver. This is
common for most SCSI and ATAPI controllers.
ú TapeWare does not support the use of disk compression software,
such as DriveSpace or Stac.
3. TapeWare operates reliably on Windows 95 systems
TapeWare SP2B did not operate reliably on Windows 95 systems.
This was due to new minimum requirements for Windows 95 systems
and the Windows .NET initiative (see Windows .NET initiative
above). Now, TapeWare works reliably on Windows 95 systems after
you install the required Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA)
patch. Use the following link to download this Microsoft patch:
http://www.tapeware.com/ftp/servicepacks/63sp2b/msaardk.exe
Note: Microsoft no longer supports Windows 95. As a result, this
workaround is only available in English. Users with non-English
versions of Windows 95 should not install this patch.
7. Novell NetWare
-------- SP3B --------
1. TapeWare Disaster Recovery requirements for NetWare 6
In NetWare 6 installations, you must install NetWare 6 SP1 to
support TapeWare Disaster Recovery.
2. TapeWare does not back up the NSS administration volume by default
The NSS administration volume is dynamic, being created at system
startup and updated each time it is accessed. Therefore, TapeWare
does not back it up by default.
This volume's name changed with NetWare 6, causing TapeWare to
back it up by default. This has been corrected, so that TapeWare
no longer backs up either NSS administration volume by default:
NSS_ADMIN under NetWare 5, _ADMIN under NetWare 6.
3. TapeWare and NSS partitions larger than 4GB in NetWare 6
Now TapeWare properly restores NSS partitions that are larger
than 4GB under NetWare 6.
4. TapeWare completes Phase 3 of Disaster Recovery in NetWare 6
installations
In some NetWare 6 installations, TapeWare could Abend the server
during Phase 3 of Disaster Recovery. Now this phase finishes
properly in these installations.
-------- SP3A --------
5. Updated NetWare installation guide
For this service pack, we have updated the TapeWare Linux and
NetWare Installation Guide. In addition to general updates, we
have added material that was previously in the release notes.
Refer to Accessing Online Documentation above for more
information.
8. MS-DOS/PC-DOS/DR-DOS
-------- SP3A --------
1. TapeWare for DOS may not be able to be installed from CD
Under some versions of MSCDEX, it may be necessary to copy the
\DOS directory from the TapeWare CDROM to your local hard drive
and install from there. The DOS4/G DOS extender will be unable to
correctly link the strlen symbol. The DOS extender may try to
open the TWdosclb.dll file in read/write mode, which MSCDEX does
not allow.
9. Linux
-------- SP3A --------
1. Disaster Recovery for Linux
TapeWare can now perform disaster recovery in Linux
installations. In addition to the standard TapeWare disaster
recovery features, TapeWare also supports Hewlett-Packard's One-
Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR) on Linux systems with OBDR-
enabled tape drives and autoloaders. Refer to Chapter 3 - Linux
Disaster Recovery in the TapeWare Addendum.
2. Updated Linux installation guide
For this service pack, we have updated the TapeWare Linux and
NetWare Installation Guide. In addition to general updates, we
have added material that was previously in these release notes.
Refer to Accessing Online Documentation above for more
information.
3. SGM module and kernel versions below 2.2.14
On systems with kernel versions below 2.2.14, TapeWare
automatically loads and uses the sgm module that comes with the
software. sgm offers additional features that are required by
TapeWare, but not provided by older versions of sg.
If your kernel is version 2.2.14 or higher, you may ignore the
included sgm module. TapeWare uses the sg module that comes with
Linux.
To identify the version of your Linux kernel, use the following
command: uname -a
4. Linux Symbios SCSI drivers not functioning properly
A problem with the Linux SCSI Generic (sg) module causes it to
incorrectly determine the direction of dataflow in Symbios SCSI
cards. As a result, a message similar to the following may
appear:
kernel: sym53c1010-33-1-<3,0>: extraneous data discarded.
kernel: sym53c1010-33-1-<3,0>: COMMAND FAILED (89 0) @dfe17000.
When the SCSI card driver tries to use this information, it
becomes confused and information is lost, which triggers the
extraneous data discarded error message.
Please note that this is not a TapeWare problem. It is a problem
with the Linux SCSI Generic (sg) kernel module (sg.o).
Choose one of the following to resolve this problem:
ú Install a different SCSI card that works properly with Linux.
ú Find out from your Linux distributor when they will change the sg
module to accommodate the latest Symbios driver.
ú Compile the latest sg.o drivers for the current version of the
Linux kernel yourself.
Note: Yosemite Technologies, Inc only provides this
information as a service to our customers. We assume no
liability for the driver or end-user failure.
To fix this problem, you must rebuild the SCSI Generic (sg.o)
driver for the Linux kernel. Your Linux distributor typically
performs this complicated procedure. If you perform this
procedure, we recommend that you test the result on a non-
production machine in case if the steps are performed
incorrectly.
Access the Linux sg.o kernel patch at
http://gear.torque.net/sg/p/sg3123.tgz.
Access the SCSI Generic site at http://gear.torque.net/sg/.
Access the Linux kernel HOWTO at
http://www.linuxhq.com/ldp/howto/Kernel-HOWTO.html.
To apply the kernel patch:
a.Obtain your kernel source code as described in the Kernel
HOWTO.
b.Apply the SCSI Generic source code to the kernel source
as described under SG Device Driver downloads on the SCSI
Generic site.
c.Compile the new patched kernel as described in the Kernel
HOWTO.
d.Install the new kernel as described in the Kernel HOWTO.
-------- SP2B --------
5. TapeWare takes less time to load
TapeWare decreases its load time by only scanning for five SCSI
hardware devices instead of 26. However, if your machine has more
than five SCSI hardware devices, you need to modify the
configuration file so TapeWare can scan for all of them. Simply
update the following line in the [configuration] section of the
TapeWare.ini file:
maxScsiDevices=n
Enter the number of SCSI devices in place of n.
6. Using IDE devices under Linux
To properly manage IDE tape drives under Linux, TapeWare uses the
IDE-SCSI command to link the IDE device to a SCSI identifier. If
an IDE CDROM is installed, this command links the device from
/dev/cdrom to /dev/scd0. As a result, you may not be able to
access the CDROM. To re-link the CDROM to /dev/cdrom, execute the
following command from the command prompt:
ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
Note: You only have to execute this command once.
7. Telneting from Windows
For TapeWare to respond correctly in CRT, follow these steps:
a.Copy the mappings below and save them into a file called
TapeWare.key
b.Select Session Options from the CRT's Options menu.
c.Select the Emulation category.
d.Select vt100 for the terminal.
e.Check ANSI Color.
f.Select Custom for the keyboard and enter full path to
TapeWare.key.
g.Select the Appearance category and use the vt100 font.
Make sure you export the variable TERM to xterm-color using the
command:
export TERM=xterm-color
If xterm-color is not available on your system, use xterm, which
only supports back and white.
You can also add export TERM=xterm-color to the /etc/profile or
~/.bash_profile as a permanent setting.
Key mappings placed in TapeWare.key:
N VK_INSERT "\e[2~"
N VK_F1 VT_PF1
N VK_F2 VT_PF2
N VK_F3 VT_PF3
N VK_F4 VT_PF4
N VK_F5 "\e[15~"
N VK_F6 "\e[17~"
N VK_F7 "\e[18~"
N VK_F8 "\e[19~"
N VK_F9 "\e[20~"
N VK_F10 "\e[21~"
E VK_INSERT "\e[2~"
S VK_F1 "\e[23~"
S VK_F2 "\e[24~"
S VK_F3 "\e[25~"
S VK_F4 "\e[26~"
S VK_F5 "\e[28~"
S VK_F6 "\e[29~"
S VK_F7 "\e[31~"
S VK_F8 "\e[32~"
S VK_F9 "\e[33~"
S VK_F10 "\e[34~"
10. Universal Serial Bus (USB)
-------- SP3B/SP3A --------
1. USB 2.0 vs. USB 1.x
The tape drives listed below are designed for USB 2.0, which
operates at an increased device-to-PC speed to 480Mbps (about 40
times faster than USB 1.1). Unfortunately, most computers
currently ship with onboard USB 1.x ports. If you connect your
new tape drive to a USB 1.x port, the device-to-PC speed
decreases to the USB 1.1 speed of 12Mbps.
Therefore, we recommend that you install a USB 2.0 adapter card
with its drivers. Then your system can take full advantage of USB
2.0 performance.
We have confirmed USB 2.0 functionality on USB 2.0 adapters with
the NEC chip. These adapter drivers include nusbd.sys and
nehcd.sys.
Note: Even though some newer computers implement USB 2.0 on their
motherboards, we still recommend that you use a USB 2.0 adapter
card for proper operation.
2. Using multiple USB tape drives
TapeWare can support up to 15 USB tape devices, but its
performance depends on server resources, including number of CPUs
and amount of memory. Therefore, we recommend that you only
attach one or two USB tape drives to a server.
3. Supported USB tape drives
TapeWare now supports the following USB tape drives under Windows
2000/XP:
ú OnStream ADR2.60usb
ú Seagate Travan 40
ú Seagate Travan 20
Note: TapeWare only supports USB tape drives under Windows
2000/XP.
All TapeWare features are available for these drives, including
Disaster Recovery. These features are only limited by the
TapeWare edition and installed options.
For an OnStream ADR2.60usb drive, install the drive hardware
according to the manufacturer's documentation. Then refer to
Installing the correct OnStream ADR2.60usb device driver below to
install the correct hardware device driver.
For a Seagate Travan 40 or 20 drive, install the drive according
to the manufacturer's documentation. You do not have to install
any special device drivers.
Once installed, the USB tape drive should appear under "port0" on
the TapeWare Device tab.
Note: TapeWare is not "Plug and Play" aware. If you attach or
detach a tape drive, you must restart the TapeWare service.
Otherwise, TapeWare will not recognize the device configuration
change. Refer to the TapeWare Users Guide and Technical Reference
for more information about restarting the service.
4. Installing the correct OnStream ADR2.60usb device driver
When you install an OnStream ADR2.60usb tape drive, your computer
may install the wrong device driver. Therefore, you must install
the OnStream USB tape driver (ADR2K.sys) before starting
TapeWare.
The ADR2K driver is located in the /Drivers subdirectory on the
TapeWare CD that ships with the OnStream ADR2.60usb tape drive.
You can also download the driver from the OnStream website
(http://www.onstreamdata.com/support/win_drivers.shtml).
Before you proceed, identify the location of the driver. Then
connect the tape drive to the computer and power it on. Finally,
