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 an autoloader 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 an autoloader, 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
D2D Backup System
