Choosing Tapes
To ensure the highest level of performance, HP Colorado and/or HP SureStore
brand tapes (which have been fully tested with your drive) are recommended.
Refer to the
section in this user's guide for information on
purchasing tapes.
For information on using backup software with your tape drive, see either the HP
SureStore T20 Installation Guide or the TapeWare User's Guide.
CAUTION:
Do not erase C4425, C4429, C4436, or C4435 with
bulk erasers.
Magnetic bulk erasing removes tracking reference points that are
placed on the tape at the factory. Without these points, the tapes
cannot be read by your tape drive. The Colorado Backup Erase utility
is the safest and quickest way to remove data from your tapes.
