Tape rotation

It is recommended that backup tapes be rotated daily. This requires
that you have a minimum of two tapes. The backup tape should be
rotated daily with an alternate tape to help reduce the chance of
complete data loss due to tape failures.
Do not unload the backup tape from the drive dur-
ing a backup. Unloading the tape may cause dam-
age to the tape drive.
DAT head cleaning
It is recommended that the DAT heads be cleaned periodically using
the DAT head cleaning tape. The cleaning tape is shipped with the sys-
tem. To use, remove the DAT tape from the tape drive and insert the
cleaning tape. Follow the instructions that accompany the cleaning
tape.
Do not unload the backup DAT from the DAT drive
during a backup. Unloading the DAT tape may
cause damage to the DAT drive.
