to automate backups and have them run at any time you select, even if you aren’t there. These methods

can also automatically run diagnostic programs to check for disk errors before each backup, ensuring you

are copying good data to the backup tape.

If you haven’t yet done so, work with your dealer to determine the best backup schedule for your

business, and to develop a reliable and convenient backup procedure. AMOS uses the MTUSAV and

MTURES commands to transfer data to and from streaming tape. These commands are described in the

AMOS System Commands Reference Manual.

Using a Streaming Tape Drive

If your Eagle 250 includes a streaming tape drive for backup, it’s important that you know what tape

cartridges you can use with it, and how to insert them into and remove them from the drive. The sections

below show the tape cartridges and formats supported by each tape drive available from Alpha Micro,

and describe how to use the tapes with your drive.

Tape Capacity

There are several different ¼" streaming tape drives available for your computer: the AM-62x series of

narrow SCSI drives, and the AM-650 Wide SCSI-2 tape drive. The storage capacity of your tapes

depends both on the drive you have and the type of tape cartridge you are using. The following table

shows the different types of tape cartridges available and the corresponding capacity for the various

drives.

The cartridge tapes shown in the table below are the ones specified for use by the tape drive

manufacturer. Using tapes other than those recommended may cause excess head wear.
