Write-Protecting a DAT Cartridge 4

Write-protecting a DAT cartridge protects the data on the cartridge from

being changed, overwritten, or deleted. To write-protect a cartridge, slide

the write-protect tab on the front of the cartridge to the open position (see

figure 23

). To write-enable the cartridge, slide the write-protect tab so the

hole is closed (see figure 23

a DAT Cartridge

Caution: Write-protecting a cartridge does not protect the data on

the cartridge from bulk-erasure or degaussing. Do not

bulk erase DAT cartridges; otherwise, you will lose all of

your data on the cartridge and your data will not be

recoverable.
