You are now ready to install the backup software – if it has not already been installed.
Installing the Backup Software
At this point you need to refer to your software installation guide for instructions on installing the
backup/controlling software for the Scalar Library onto the host computer.
Note
This is the software that runs your Scalar Library, not the data being
transferred to the data cartridges. Two examples of backup software are
Cheyenne's ARCserve and Legato's NetWorker.
After you have completed installation of the Scalar Library and of the software, to make sure that your unit is
operating correctly, you should run any diagnostic test(s) supplied with the backup software.
Once your Scalar Library has been connected to your host computer system and the application software has been
installed, the library is ready for use. Just turn on the power switch.
