Setting Backup Software
This chapter provides information on the backup software settings that are required to use the LT140 and
notes that are related to the settings.
• Refer to the manual supplied with each type of backup software for information about standard settings
and operating procedures for that backup software.
• Displayed windows and operations may vary depending on the backup software version. If differences
exist, perform the operation according to the manual supplied with the backup software.
• If the backup software can specify whether to return a tape cartridge from a tape drive to the slot in a
library after a backup or restore processing is complete, set the backup software to return the tape
cartridge to the slot. A tape is left exposed from a tape cartridge that is left unremoved from a tape drive. If
a tape is left exposed for a long time, dust may accumulate on the surface of the tape on which the data is
recorded. This may cause a data read/write error.
"ETERNUS LT260" is displayed as the inquiry information in the device management window. This is the iden-
tification information as a device and does not indicate the library's name.
The item name that indicates the inquiry information differs depending on the backup software. Replace the
item name according to the manual supplied with the backup software to check the inquiry information.
