Secure Shred

The Secure Shred page allows you to securely and permanently erase sensitive data
stored on the ETERNUS CS800. To securely erase data, first delete files on NAS shares or
storage servers, or erase tape cartridges on VTL partitions, then start secure shred. During
secure shred, all residual data associated with the deleted files or cartridges is securely
erased from the disk drives and is overwritten with random patterns.
While secure shred is running, the ETERNUS CS800 operates in limited mode. This means
you cannot perform backups or restores, all scheduled jobs (including replication jobs) are
stopped, and you cannot access or use any other features of the ETERNUS CS800. If
necessary, you can cancel secure shred at any time and return the ETERNUS CS800 to
normal operation.
