Install Backup Software and Driver

Note

If you are installing the drive in a UNIX system, go to the UNIX
Configuration Guide
to configure your system to support the drive and to
verify the installation.

Before you can use the tape drive, you will need a backup application with
driver software that supports your tape drive model.

Depending on which backup software you use, the driver may be supplied
on the HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM, your backup software disks, or your
operating system disks. See the appropriate README file in the DRIVERS
directory on the HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM for which drivers are
available for your specific model.

What Next?

If the tape drive has passed the tests run by HP TapeAssure, you can be
confident that you have installed it correctly. You are now ready to put it
to regular use backing up your system. See your backup application’s
documentation for instructions on how to back up and restore data.

Chapter 3 provides details of how to operate your drive. Make sure you
read Chapter 4 regarding the care of the drive and cartridges.
