Title
How to change the CPIO and MTF Tape Format -
Description
By default, a backup to tape device connected to a windows system will automatically set the format of a blank tape to MTF; a backup to tape device connected to a Linux/Unix system will automatically set the format of a blank tape to CPIO.
You can change from the default setting of MTF on Windows and CPIO on UNIX/Linux; however we do NOT recommend making this change. If you decide to Change from the default settings it is highly recommended that you verify the backups for data integrity.
