2. Select the attached tape drive from the pull-down list, the required verify/compare option and whether the physical cartridge should be unloaded after the operation completes. Click Start. NOTE: A Full Verify reads the data back after copy and compares it byte-by-byte with the original. A Quick Verify also reads back the data, but only ensures that it can be read. It may save some time if another tape device on the HP D2D Backup System is being accessed at the same time as the copy operation. No Verify is the fastest option. 3. The process checks that media is loaded in the attached tape drive and that it is blank. If it is not blank, you are given the option of overwriting it or canceling the job. (It is not possible to append data.) 4. To view job progress information and any error messages, select the Status navigation topic. To export to attached tape drive An export operation may be performed upon any non blank cartridge in the Mail slot in an autoloader device. The cartridge data is first copied from the HP D2D Backup System to the physical tape drive and then subsequently deleted from the HP D2D Backup System. However, if an error occurs during the process, the data is not deleted. It remains on the cartridge located in the Mail slot. CAUTION: Do not export cartridges that the backup application uses on a frequent basis as part of a rotation strategy. 1. Use the backup application on the host to move the cartridge into the mail slot. This action removes the cartridge from the numbered slot and leaves the slot empty. Backup applications have a number of terms to describe this action, such as remove or eject. Refer to the documentation supplied with your backup application for further details. 2. In the Web interface select Copy/Export/Import and locate the cartridge that you wish to export in the Cartridge list. Click on the Export button next to it. D2D Backup System 91
