Procedure 4.6: PERFORM OPERATIONAL TESTS ON
KEYSTONE
®
III TAPE DRIVE
OVERVIEW
The operational tests described in this procedure are for the
KEYSTONE
®
III tape drive. This procedure must be
performed each time before making office backup tapes which are written in the EXT format. This is the format
used by GENBKUP to make office backup tapes. Failure to successfully complete these tests could cause tape
read failures when the tapes are used to recover the system and could extend office outage time.
If any operational test fails, perform the manufacturer's tests in
Procedure 4.5
