Chapter 9 Operation and Maintenance
● Ejecting Media after a Backup
Some backup software products provide functions for ejecting media after a backup is completed. Such
functions will rewind the tape after a backup is completed and then eject the media from the drive.
Be sure to execute this function for autoloader/library devices. Depending on the structure of some
servers, this function may cause the media to eject from an internal device of the server and hit the
chassis door. If this is the case, open the door when ejecting, or do not eject the media.
● Media Label Types and Positions
When writing information such as the name on media, use the label that came with the media.
The area in which a label can be posted on the media of each device varies.
Failing to post labels in the designated area can damage the device.
● Data Storage
When storing data for long periods of time, store the media in a location least affected by temperature,
humidity, and magnetic fields.
