HOWTO: Backup to tape on UDB 7.x in Win NT

The only procedure i know for this is to put the cartridge in the tape
drive.
If it does not work, try removing the cartridge packaging and initialize the
tape
before you insert it in the drive. Also verify that these is not currently
another
cartridge in the drive.
(hope you have a good sense of humour)
See also the Rewind and Set tape position commands.
On NT, i think the tapes have to be initialized first, then i guess you have
to rewind and then backup.
