Messages during Backup and Restore
The file count or the following messages will be displayed whilst the DR16pro is backing up or
restoring data to or from the SCSI Tape Drive:
PREPARING Preparing to access the SCSI Tape Drive
SEARCHING Searching the backup data on the SCSI tape
REWINDING Rewinding the SCSI tape
EJECTING Ejecting the SCSI tape from the SCSI Tape Drive
Interchangeability with DD Machines Such as DD8 / DD1500
The AKAI DD8/DD1500 system allows you to store several backups on a single tape, while the
DR16pro can store only one backup. Further, the title of the backup made on the DR16pro is
always fixed as “Backup”. This cannot be changed by the user.
If tapes with several backups originally made by the DD8/DD1500 are used, the DR16pro will
restore the first backup it can find (i.e. the data stored at the beginning of the tape). Subsequent
backups that may be on the tape will be ignored and are not accessible.
