Full Tape Backups


Full Tape Backups

Periodic full tape backups force all data files to be read and copied to tape. This procedure provides two advantages:

If a sector media error has not been discovered and an array rebuild fails as described previously, a full tape backup can then be performed to minimize data loss. The tape backup saves all files except for the one containing the damaged sector. The drives can then be restored from the configuration disk and synchronized, forcing the remapping of bad sectors. The data can then be restored. The files that were contained on the damaged sector would then have to be restored from a prior backup.
