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

4. The process warns you that the cartridge data on the HP D2D Backup System will be removed once
it has been exported. You must click OK to continue. It also 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.
NOTE:
If you cancel the process, remember to use the backup application to move the cartridge
back from the mail slot to the cartridge slot.

To import from attached tape drive

An import operation may be performed on a physical cartridge in the attached tape drive. The cartridge
is copied to the target device on the HP D2D Backup System. The operation will either automatically
create a new cartridge in the mail slot of a library device or replace the data on a cartridge in a
standalone tape drive device. The mail slot or cartridge must be empty.
NOTE:
Only one copy, export or import job may be run at a time, regardless of the number of physical tape drives
that are connected to the HP D2D Backup System. If a job is currently in progress, a warning message will be
displayed when you try to set up the new job. You must wait for the current job to complete.
1. For importing to a library, locate the Mail slot in the Cartridge list and click on the Import button
next to it. (The Import button is only displayed if the Mail slot is empty - all the other fields contain
hyphens.) For importing to a standalone tape drive, click on the Import button in the cartridge row.
2.
Once Import has been clicked, the Setup page is displayed. (Or an error is reported 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.
3. The process warns you that when importing cartridge data to a tape drive device on the HP D2D
that contains a non blank cartridge, the data on the cartridge will be overwritten. You must click
OK to continue.
