For the boxes designated Drive 3 and Drive 4, Isis shows the

3.2.7 Continuing to Save Data to Another Tape
Isis can redirect recording to another tape in the middle of a session. This is
useful if you are running low on available tape and want Isis to continue
saving data on the second tape.
To switch to a different tape drive mid-session
1. Insert a tape into each tape drive.
2. From
the Control portion of the Tape Drive Control dialog box
(File →Tape Drive Control), click on a radio button to indicate which
tape will be the first tape (3 or 4) to use in your recording session.
3. In the Switch between drives portion of the Tape Drive Control dialog
box, click on a radio button to indicate whether the switch will occur
automatically or manually.
4. Start recording.
If you choose Automatically (<5%), Isis will redirect your recording to
the second drive when you have less than 5% tape space remaining on
the first tape. If you choose Manually, Isis only redirects the recording to
the second tape when you click Now! in the Switch between drives
portion of the Tape Drive Control dialog box. You can also achieve the
same thing through the Switch File dialog box (Figure 3-8), which is
available to you when the Parameter Display window is displayed
