HP Ultrium drives will work with
tar, cpio, backup, restore and dd. For systems other than the
43P, the drive is also boot-capable, provided a boot tape is generated using
mkszfile and
mksysb.
Once device files have been created, you should confirm that your new tape drive is working
properly. Chapter 7 on page 33 provides instructions on backing up and restoring a sample file to
test your installation.
