9.4 Format the IDE- or SCSI medium (FMT)
With this function you can prepare a storage medium for the use. WARNING: The format
wipes out all existing datas on a medium - this process cannot be aborted!
&
We recommend during the lifetime of a storage medium to mirror sometimes (maybe every
year ...) the contents via the backup function (see page 25) to another device, format the
medium and mirror it back. Working like this you can exclude defect sectors on a medium
(because during the format-process the procedure automatically signs those defect sectors
and then all controllers avoid a storage in those places).
