Some backup software applications work with DLTSage to allow you to 

format a tape cartridge as DLTSage WORM directly via the backup 

software user interface. 
If your backup software application does not allow this, you can use 

xTalk Management Console to create the DLTSage WORM cartridge. (See 

 on page 135 for information about xTalk 

Management Console.)
Follow these steps to format a cartridge with DLTSage WORM using 

xTalk Management Console:

If xTalk Mangement Console is not installed on your computer, 

download it now (see 

 on page 132 for 

instructions on downloading).

Obtain a blank DLTtape S4 cartridge that you want to format as 

DLTSage WORM. Ensure that the cartridge contains no data.

Insert the cartridge into the drive and wait for the tape drive to come 

ready. 

Launch xTalk Management Console.

Click the

 button on the toolbar (see 

).

Identification

The identification applies to both the data and the cartridges. 
• The storage management software issues a time and date stamp, which enables 

you to locate and authenticate specific records using ISV compliant storage 

management software.

• The cartridge used for DLTSage WORM is a standard DLTtape S4 cartridge. Use 

the special yellow labels provided by Quantum to identify the WORM 

cartridges.

Duplication

The data stored on the DLTtape S4 cartridge can be downloaded to another storage 

media through any ISV-compliant storage management software.
