Using The Netware Tape Backup - Adaptec P2280A Manual

Mount Status
Mounting causes a drive to come on-line as a NetWare storage
device. Dismounted drives are inactive and cannot be accessed.
Before you eject your current media, you should first Dismount it
(menu choice 5). When the media status is Dismounted, you can eject
the media. However, NetWare does not allow you to dismount it if
the media is locked.
To insert your new media, wait for the drive to spin-up, and then
select the Drive Mount option.
Lock Status
If your removable-media device supports the Lock/Unlock feature,
you can lock the media (menu choice 6). The media must be in the
Not Locked state before you can eject it. If the media is Locked, it
cannot be ejected when you press the Eject button.

Using the NetWare Tape Backup

Included with Novell NetWare is a server-based tape backup utility
called sbackup.nlm . This utility allows you to backup server disk
drives to a server tape drive. The utility supports Adaptec host
adapters.
Novell NetWare documentation contains instructions for loading the
server backup software. Refer to the NetWare Server Backup Manual
to load the tapedai , tsa , and sbackup modules.
