Backup and Restore
This chapter explains how to back up and restore material recorded on the DR16pro. You can
back up to a SCSI tape drive via SCSI.
Backup
Backup to a SCSI Tape Drive
The DR16pro is able to make backups to SCSI Tape Drives (SCSI-DAT, etc.).
Connect the SCSI connector of the SCSI Tape Drive to the SCSI-A connector of the DR16pro
using an appropriate SCSI cable (bearing in mind all the precautions and considerations regarding
SCSI termination, SCSI ID numbers and the total SCSI cable length).
Preparation of backup
Before making backups, the tape must first be formatted.
1) Press the SUB-MENU key followed by the 1(DISK) key in the numeric keypad then
select “BACKUP” on the display by rotating the JOG/SHUTTLE control.
2) Press the STORE/ENT key.
The message “TYPE DAT” will appear on the display.
3) Select “SCSI” with the JOG/SHUTTLE control then press the STORE/ENT key.
The message “TRANSMIT” will appear on the display.
Creating a Backup
1) Press the SUB-MENU key followed by the 1(DISK) key in the numeric keypad then
select “BACKUP” on the display by rotating the JOG/SHUTTLE control.
2) Press the STORE/ENT key.
The message “TYPE DAT” will appear in the display.
4) Select “FORMT TAPE” with the JOG/SHUTTLE control then press the STORE/ENT
key.
The message “TAPE ID 0” will be displayed. This is the SCSI ID number of the SCSI Tape
Drive that is to be formatted.
5) Select the SCSI ID number of the SCSI Tape Drive using the JOG/SHUTTLE control and
press the STORE/ENT key to start formatting.
If the tape has been used, the message “RE-FORMAT” will appear in the display. Pressing
the STORE/ENT key will cause the tape to be erased and re-formatted.
Press the ESCAPE key to abort formatting.
Warning:
The previous data on the tape will be destroyed once formatting is executed
even when it is aborted. The great care must be taken when formatting the tape.
