Some events may require you to load the operating system and application
software from tape. If the disk drive fails or your system experiences a
software problem, reload the software using the tapes delivered with the

recent version for these procedures. You only need to perform the backup
tape procedure once if you store the backup tape securely.
Allow up to 90 minutes for a complete reinstallation operation.
