To Export To Attached Tape Drive - HP StorageWorks D2D100 - Backup System User Manual

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 a library 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. Export is not recommended
with deduplicating libraries as it does very little to free up disk space, which is the prime reason for
export. (Space is only freed up, if a chunk of data is no longer referenced by any cartridges.)
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.
3. This displays the Setup page. (Or reports an error if no tape drives are currently attached to the
HP D2D Backup System.) 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.
