NOTE: Write-protection does not prevent a cartridge from being erased by bulk-erasure or degaussing. Erasing a Pre-Written LTO Tape CAUTION: Do not bulk erase Ultrium format cartridges. The erase feature in the backup software is the preferred method for erasing an LTO tape. To prevent erasing a tape, slide the write-protect switch to the right. Figure 1-1. Setting the Write-Protect Switch 1 write-protect switch LTO Media Handbook 21 This destroys pre-recorded servo information and renders the cartridge unusable.
