Write Protecting Cartridges
Write Protecting Cartridges
If you want to protect the data on a cartridge from being altered or overwritten, you can
write-protect the cartridge.
Always remove the cartridge from the tape drive before you change the write
protection.
•
To write-protect a cartridge, slide the tab on the rear of the cartridge so that the
recognition hole is open.
•
To write-enable a cartridge, slide the tab back so that the hole is closed.
Figure 3-5. Write Protecting a Cartridge
Note. Write-protection will not protect your cartridges against magnets (or bulk erasers).
1. Tab closed, cartridge write-enabled
2. Tab open, cartridge write-protected
