Setting the Backup Software
This chapter provides information on the backup software settings that are required to use the LT20 S2/LT40
S2/LT60 S2 and notes that are related to the settings.
4.1 NetBackup
This section provides notes about the settings that are performed for NetBackup.
4.1.1 Notes on Operation
■ Cleaning tape drives
NetBackup has a function to automatically clean tape drives. When automatically cleaning tape drives, use
the NetBackup's automatic cleaning function.
4.1.2 Applying Patches
Before using NetBackup for the LT20 S2/LT40 S2/LT60 S2, contact the NetBackup vendor to download the
latest Release Updates and latest Device Mappings Package.
• Refer to the manual supplied with each type of backup software for information about standard settings
and operating procedures for that backup software.
• Displayed windows and operations may vary depending on the backup software version. If differences
exist, perform the operation according to the manual supplied with the backup software.
• If the backup software can specify whether to return a tape cartridge from a tape drive to the slot in a
library after a backup or restore processing is complete, set the backup software to return the tape
cartridge to the slot. A tape is left exposed from a tape cartridge that is left unremoved from a tape drive. If
a tape is left exposed for a long time, dust may accumulate on the surface of the tape on which the data is
recorded. This may cause a data read/write error.
