Description

Physically designate the media as the Backup Volume in

 

some outward way. See the following examples:

 

• Write the words “Backup Volume” on the media.

 

• Color code the media so it can be identified as a Backup

 

Volume.

 

 

• Make a note of either the home storage slot or the

 

preprinted barcode and prominently display it.

 

Even though the Backup Volume is in the last slot (such

 

as, slot 100), if you add an expansion bay with 50

 

additional slots, you now have a “new” last slot (slot 150).
