Write-Protecting a DAT Cartridge

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 12

). To write-enable the cartridge, slide the

write-protect tab so the hole is closed (see Figure 12

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.
