Tape Utilities

Use a browser at a network workstation to start HD Server Admin.
See page 4-1 to page 4-4. Click the Backup/Restore tab. Click the
Utilities button under the tabs to access the Tape Utilities page.
(The Backup button is initially selected.)
Under Options select the tape drive for operations on this Tape
Utilities page. Drive 1 selects the tape drive with SCSI ID 3 (the
default drive selection, usually the internal drive), and Drive 2
selects the tape drive with SCSI ID 5 (usually the external drive).
See chapter 8 for installing internal and external tape drives.
Quick Erase is used before recording new data at the front of the
installed tape, but does not fully destroy the existing data.
Full Erase destroys all data, and may take two or more hours.
You can use Create Tape Catalog to read the installed backup tape
to make a listing of its directories and files in a text file on the
volume. Specify a disk file, and click the [Create] button. The catalog
is used to verify file locations and to cut and paste paths for
restoring. It effectively quick erases the tape as well.
Test Tape stores a small amount of data on the installed tape, reads
the data and compares it, and displays results in a pop-up window.
Using Unload/Eject Tape, the tape is rewound if necessary and
unloaded. Unloading prevents the next backup from recording over
this one. (Note that on HP DLT drives, the tape will not be ejected
when unloaded, merely made inaccessible for further recording
until manually reloaded.)

Backup/Restore Log

Use a browser at a network workstation to start HD Server Admin.
(See page 4-1 to page 4-4.) Click the Backup/Restore tab. Click the
Log button under the tabs to access the Backup/Restore Log
page. This page displays the contents of the log stored in the
c/system/logs/ directory on the volume. It accumulates a list of
backup and restore events.
To erase all events in the log file and restart accumulating events:
•
Use the [Clear Log] button on this page, or
•
Mark the Reset Log checkbox on Options pages (from Backup,
Restore, and Schedule Entry pages (see page 9-6 and
page 9-10)).
