The library has many configurable items, such as tape drive IDs,
partitions, user accounts, import/export (I/E) stations, and cleaning slots.
In the event of a hardware failure or firmware upgrade, the save and
restore operations can be used to restore the library's configurable
items to a previous state. The save/restore operation also saves and
restores library firmware and license keys installed on the library.
Note: The save/restore operations should not be performed
concurrently by multiple administrators logged in from
different locations. You can access the screens, but you cannot
apply changes while another administrator is performing the
same operation.
This operation saves your current library configuration and library
firmware.
It is recommended that you save the library configuration after
modifying a configurable item and before upgrading firmware. This
allows you to restore the most current settings if necessary.
Save your library configuration when it is in a known working state. In
the event of a hardware failure, the saved configuration can be used to
restore the configuration after hardware repairs are made.
Before initiating a firmware upgrade, you should save the library
configuration. You then have the option to restore the configuration
after either a successful or an unsuccessful upgrade.
You can only save the configuration from the Web client.
