Chapter 4 – Replacing a Drive

Testing the Drive

1. Power on and restart the host computer, if you powered it off.
2. Determine whether your backup software and drive are communicating properly by
using the software to back up several megabytes of data to the drive. Perform a
comparison check on the backup data to confirm that it was written correctly.
3. Reinstall the protective cover on the back of the library as described in Install the
Cover on page 20.

Restarting Backups

Use your backup software to restart any backup processes that had been running to
the replaced drive. This restart ensures that the software recognizes the drive as
working and available.
