Retensioning Tapes, Write-Protecting Cartridges

Chapter 2 Operation and Maintenance

Retensioning Tapes

Travan tapes must be retensioned frequently to ensure data integrity and optimize drive performance. Retensioning involves running the entire tape through the drive, from beginning to end.

For optimum performance, cartridges used for daily backups should be retensioned prior to each use. Your backup software automatically retensions the tape before each backup and restore operation. However, if you ever have a problem reading a tape, manual retensioning (using your backup software) may solve the problem.

We recommend retensioning whenever a cartridge:

•Is being used for the first time

•Has not been used for over a month

•Has been dropped

•Has been shipped

•Has been exposed to a significant change in temperature

Write-Protecting Cartridges

Travan cartridges feature a write-protect or lock switch near the upper left corner of the cartridge. When the write-protect switch is in the unlocked position, see figure 6, the cartridge is ready for normal writing and reading. When the write-protect switch is in the locked position, the drive can read data from the cartridge, but cannot write to the cartridge. Cartridges are usually shipped from
