BACKUP SOFTWARE Compaq developed the 12/24 GB DAT Drive (Figure 10) in accordance with the DDS-3 specification to provide high-performance, reliable backups for storage requirements of 24 GB or less. Compaq performs extensive hardware and software testing to ensure a highly integrated and compatible solution for Compaq systems.

The 12/24 GB DAT Drive is designed with TapeAlert support. TapeAlert is a tape drive status monitoring and messaging utility that automatically detects media and drive problems that could have a negative impact on backup quality. TapeAlert provides easy-to-understand error messages as errors arise and recommends appropriate corrective action. CA\Cheyenne Software CA\Cheyenne ARCserve® for Windows NT and for Novell NetWare 3.x and IntranetWare 4.0 all support the Compaq 12/24 GB DAT Drive.
