Check specifications for the tape drive. It varies what a drive can handle & a site can have tapes on hand that were for earlier hardware no longer on the premises, tapes used for the 400, tapes used for Microsoft world. Someone should know which they are for.
Ideally the new tapes should have the capacity to handle backups with a minimum # of tapes, so avoid fumbling multi-volume backups.
Hello Chaps and Chapesses,I have a client who is adding new disks to his iSeries and wants me to do a full back up for him prior to doing it, now he is about to order new tapes for this, he currently has two types;* Imation MLR1 26GB data cartridge * IBM MLR1 16GB Data cartridge (32GB compressed, 16 GB uncompressed)Which of these is the better? I have no idea about these things, or is there another type/size he could/should use?TIA Steve -- This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
