<h1 class="topictitle1">Protect data on tape cartridges</h1>
<div><p>This topic has general instructions for protecting data on a tape
cartridge. For specific information, see the manual for your tape drive.</p>
<p>Tape cartridges have a switch that you can use to write-protect the data
on the tape. The switch typically has a label that indicates that it is write-protected
such as:</p>
<ul><li>A padlock icon</li>
<li>A dot on the switch</li>
<li>A label such as <span class="uicontrol">SAFE</span> or <span class="uicontrol">SAVE</span>.</li>
</ul>
<p>The following instructions are an example of protecting data from being
overwritten on a quarter-inch tape. See the operator's guide for your tape
device instructions that are specific to your tape cartridge. Do one of the
following:</p>
<ul><li>Set the pointer toward <span class="uicontrol">SAFE</span> for older style tape
cartridges, as shown in the first image.</li>
<li>Set the pointer toward the locked padlock icon for the newer style tape
cartridges, as shown in the second image below.</li>
</ul>
<p>To not protect the data do one of the following:</p>
<ul><li>Set the pointer away from <span class="uicontrol">SAFE</span> for the older style
tape cartridges, as shown in the first image below.</li>
<li>Set the pointer toward the unlocked padlock icon, for the newer style
tape cartridges, as shown in the second image below.</li>
</ul>
