In DP-XBackup if a version of the file is not specified, the latest version of the selected object will be restored by default. A Version of a file is a
backup from a particular date on a particular media.
WARNING:
Do NOT put the tape in the drive with out first write protecting it before attempting any data restoration!
If DP-X Backup is trying to run a backup job, and is hung, it may start writing to the tape you want to restore from. There is a write protect tab somewhere on the tape, consult the tape manufacturer's documentation for media specific instructions. During the restore job, DP-X Backup does not write to the tape, so write protecting it will not have any negative consequences.
