Cautions Concerning Backup
This chapter explains the points to note about backup operations for this product.
General
• This product and the data cartridge is a device to backup a server's hard disk. If this device is used
as a hard disk for a server, the data cartridge may fail or be damaged and data may be lost.
• Do not use multiple applications or utilities to access this product at the same time.
Example: Performing the data cartridge "Disk volume check" (check disk) while using this product
with Windows Backup.
• Do not use the data cartridge in multiple applications.
Example: Deleting a file created by Windows Backup using Windows Explorer.
• Do not operate files created with backup software in explorer in order to protect against accidental
erasure of files.
• If using the same data cartridge for backup and backup fails, all data may be lost. Also, if the data
cartridge is damaged data restoration may be impossible. By using multiple data cartridges for
backup, trouble can be minimized.
Example: Using a different data cartridge for backup everyday of the week.
• In the backup software, "verify backed up data" can be specified. When this is specified, the
written data is read and inspected after backup completes, in order to improve reliability
(Recommended).
If data inspection is not performed, backup data may not be restored when a failure has occurred in
this product during backup.
• Changing the security policy

formatting the data cartridge. When ejecting or formatting the data cartridge without the
Administrator privileges, change the security policy settings by following procedure.
1. Log on with the Administrator account.
2. Click the [Start] button, [All Programs]-[Administrative Tools]-[Local Security
Policy].

Options] from the opened list.
