Setting the write–protect switch
Travan minicartridges feature a sliding write protect tab located in the upper left
corner of the cartridge. You can set the tab to keep data from being written on the
tape. Use this switch when you want to make sure that important data on the tape
will not be overwritten.
Figure 4-4 shows the cartridge with the switch in the non-protected (read/write) or
unlocked position.
