  • Disaster recovery tape drive
    Publication number: 20020163760
    Abstract: A tape drive assembly includes a tape drive adapted to receive a tape cartridge and control electronics. The control electronics are adapted to identify whether the tape cartridge comprises a disaster recovery tape, identify a disaster recovery request, and configure the tape drive as a bootable device in response to identifying the disaster recovery request. A method for restoring a computer having a tape drive includes autonomously determining whether a tape cartridge inserted into the tape drive comprises a disaster recovery tape; identifying a disaster recovery request; and configuring the tape drive to emulate a bootable device in response to identifying the disaster recovery request.
