Opening Multiple Tape Archives
When
you are creating large archives, you may want to use multiple tapes
to store one archive. By splitting the contents of one archive onto
separate tapes, you can keep similar types of material together
in the same archive.
You can open material
on any tape in a multiple tape archive but you will always need
the last tape in the multiple tape archive sequence. The last tape
contains necessary header information for locating the material
you want to restore.
TipKeep tapes organized
and labeled so that you can easily keep track of all the tapes in
the same archive.
To open material from a multiple tape
device or VTR archive:
- Insert the last tape in the tape device
or VTR.
- Click Open.
Flame reads the
header information to ensure that the tape is actually the last
tape in the sequence. If the incorrect tape is placed in the tape
device or VTR, a corresponding error message appears.
- Follow the instruction and then click
Continue to proceed.
TipClick Abort Loading
at any time during this procedure to abort the restore procedure.
- Select the backup set that you want to
open.
- If the material that you want to open
is not on the last tape in the sequence, you are prompted to place
the correct tape in the tape device or VTR.
- Place the correct tape in the VTR or
tape device and click Continue.
- Click Close when you have finished restoring
from the multiple tape sequence.
