TAPE UTILITIES: Retension Tape: Press the F1 key to retension your tape. Retensioning your tape will NOT erase any information that is stored there. It will just help to make sure you can read and write properly from your tape. You would want to retension your tape 1) if it had been shipped through the mail or otherwise been moved around a lot; 2) if it is a brand new tape; 3) if you have had a problem with reading or writing to the tape; or 4) if the tape has been in an environment where the temperature has changed substantially. If you wish to retension your tape, just answer Y for yes to the question DO YOU WISH TO RE-TENSION THE TAPE? When you press the return key, this procedure will begin. Erase Tape: Before you erase a tape, BE SURE this is the tape that you want to erase. You can easily do this by pressing the F3 function key when the Main Menu is on the screen (Tape Directory). Once you erase a tape, you can NEVER RECOVER THE INFORMATION THAT WAS STORED ON IT !!!! If you wish to erase your tape, just answer Y for yes to the message on your screen WARNING - ERASE WILL DESTROY ALL DATA ON THE TAPE. CONTINUE? You must type in a Y (for yes) and press the return key, and the erase procedure will begin. Verify Tape: Use this option to verify that your tape is readable by the tape system. Read-after-write verify is done while a backup is being made; use the Verify command if you want to verify the integrity of your data at a later time. Verify checks the CRC at the end of each block of data on the tape; it does not do a data comparison with the data on the disk. [End of Text]Download Driver Pack
