Select the Tapes tab.
The Tapes tab features these buttons and fields:
mvBase Tape Units |
This field lists all tape units currently configured for use with mvBase. System configuration should always list drive A (where drive A is the local floppy drive) and the local hard disk drive (where the virtual tape device resides). The tape01.vtf file contains the initial mvBase database. |
Available Tape Drives |
This field lists physical devices (previously configured in Windows) that are available for allocation to mvBase. A selected device listed on the right (Physical Tapes) can be added to the list of mvBase tapes on the left. |
Add Tape File/Link |
This button maps a virtual tape file for the current server or a virtual tape link between two or more servers. |
Add Remote Floppy |
This button maps a remote floppy device to the mvBase Server. |
<=== Add Tape Unit |
This button adds a physical tape device (previously configured for use in Windows) to mvBase. The device moves to the mvBase Tape Units field. |
===> Remove Tape Unit |
This device removes any mvBase tape unit from mvBase. If you remove a physical tape device, it moves to the Available Tape Drives field. If you remove a virtual tape file, it simply disappears from the mvBase Tape Units field. |
