You are now ready to carry out a backup and restore test to check that the drive can write data
to tape. Use a blank cartridge. Windows Backup or Linux native backup applications can be
used to check basic tape drive operation, but they will not support all the advanced features of
your tape drive. We recommend that you upgrade your software application before running this
test. Check

recommended upgrades.
