Secure data through Write Protection

For added security, write protection can be

enabled for any tape cartridge with a VTL. When

write protection is enabled, existing data on the

tape cartridge cannot be overwritten or erased.

The displayed data can be sorted by any field by

clicking on the heading for the field; clicking

twice reverses the sort order.
