Backup media can include reel-to-reel magnetic tapes, DDS tapes, 3480 cartridges, and disk files. Backup media provides an economical way to maintain duplicates of important files on your system.

The process of copying a file to backup media is called storing the file. The process of copying a file from backup media is called restoring the file.

As a system administrator/operator, you frequently STORE and RESTORE files. You might, for example:

  • Store all files on the system (backup) in case one or more files become corrupted, either accidentally, intentionally, or by a malfunction.

  • Store an important file in order to create a duplicate for a user.

  • Permanently store several files offline by storing them to media and deleting them from disk (archive).

  • Transfer files from one system to another by storing them from one system and restoring them on to the other.
