data. This will minimize the loss of recent translation data changes if the cassette tapes in the

system become damaged.

The following procedure can be used to make a backup tape:

1. Remove the cassette tape from the tape drive.

2. Insert the backup cassette tape into the tape drive.

3. Login to the terminal.
