Removing a Cassette from the Magazine

The data cassettes are easily slipped into and out of the magazine slots. To remove a
cassette, simply grasp it with two fingers and pull up. Make sure each cassette is
labeled so you know the contents, and their correct position in the magazine.

Storing the Magazine

Store magazines in a dry, cool environment. Always keep the dust cover on the
magazine.
The removable magazine allows for long-term archiving or off-site safety storage of
groups of cassettes.
You can duplex multiple DAT Autochangers so your system can mirror data backups
on each separate unit. With duplexing you have real time data assurance and the
ability to remove one magazine for off-site storage while the other remains for on-
line data access.
