Interchangeability with DD1500
The AKAI DD1500 system allows you to store several backups on a single tape, while the DR16

"Backup". This cannot be changed by the user.
If tapes with several backups originally made by the DD1500 are used, the DR16 will restore the
first backup it can find (i.e. the data stored at the beginning of the tape). Subsequent backups
that may be on the tape will be ignored and are not accessible.
