CD/DVD Discs

Keep the following notes in mind to use the disc for the server:
Press the center of the storage case to remove the disc from the case.
Do not drop the disc.
Do not place anything on the disc or bend the disc.
Do not attach any label onto the disc.
Do not touch the signal side (nothing is printed on this side) with your hand.
Place the disc with its printed side upward and gently put it on the tray.
Do not scratch the disc or write anything directly on it with a pencil or ball-point pen.
Do not leave the disc with foods and drinks, or in a place exposed to cigarette smoke.
Do not leave the disc in a high-temperature place (e.g., place exposed to direct sunlight or
close to a heater).
When dust or fingerprints are attached on the disc, wipe the disc from its center to edge
with a dry soft cloth slowly and gently.
Use the disc cleaner to clean the disc. Do not use record spray/cleaner, benzene, or
thinner.
Keep the disc in a disc case when not in use.

Tape Media

The following describes data handling with the DAT, DLT, or AIT optionally available for the
server.
Saving your valuable data
When you save your valuable data or programs into the cartridge tape, you should save
them into two cartridge tapes to make the primary and secondary tapes.
This enables you to restore your data from one tape when the other makes a read error, as
well as to protect your valuable data and programs from loss.
Three-generation data management
NEC recommends that you should employ three-generation data management for data
storage.
Three-generation data management uses three cartridge tapes: A, B, and C. You save data
to tape A on the first day, tape B on the second day, tape C on the third day, tape A on the
forth day, and so on. That is, you save data into cartridge tapes cyclically from tape A
through C.
