Backup and restore on the tape proceed in the same way as with other devices, with the
following exceptions.

1. A full backup can be stored on an empty tape only. If you use tape that already contains

data, its contents will be overwritten.

2. In case you want to keep more than one archive on the tape, for example, back up two

disks separately, choose incremental backup mode when creating initial full backup for the

second disk. In other situations, incremental backup is used for appending changes to the
previously created archive.

3. You do not have to provide filenames for backups.

You might experience short pauses that are required to rewind the tape.

Low-quality or old tape, as well as dirt on the magnetic head, might lead to pauses that can last up to
several minutes.
