Erasing a Pre-Written LTO Tape

CAUTION:

Do not bulk erase Ultrium format cartridges. This destroys

pre-recorded servo information and renders the cartridge unusable.

The erase feature in the backup software is the preferred method for erasing

an LTO tape. To prevent erasing a tape, slide the write-protect switch to the

right.

NOTE:

Write-protection does not prevent a cartridge from being erased by

bulk-erasure or degaussing.
