Drivers

One driver is required in order to use DAT SCSI tape drives.
The manufacturer's Tape driver is suitable for use in most applications, but
refer also to the documentation of your software application to ensure you
are using the recommended driver.
On Windows systems, we strongly recommend that you use the installer
package supplied by your manufacturer to install the drivers. Updates to the
drivers may be provided from time to time on http://www.tandbergdata.com.
We recommend that these are installed after using the installer package.
On Linux and UNIX operating systems, drivers are included with the operating
system and should be loaded automatically. To upgrade drivers we
recommend that you patch to the latest version of the operating system.

Backup software

For optimum performance it is important to use a backup application that is
appropriate for your system's configuration. In a direct attach configuration,
where the tape drive is attached to a standalone server, you can use backup
software that is designed for a single server environment. In network
configurations you will need backup software that supports enterprise
environments.
Further details about suitable products can be found on
www.tandbergdata.com. It is important to check for software compatibility
and install any recommended upgrades.
