Under Create, click Bootable Tape Image for use with bootable tape devices, and then click Next.
The Starting Tape Image Creation screen appears.
If you have previously prepared a bootable image for tape, the Disaster Recovery Image Found screen appears.
-
Click Delete the existing image to write the new bootable image to the bootable tape when the first overwrite backup job runs.

Continue to follow the prompts until the wizard is complete.
-
When the bootable image is complete, run an overwrite backup job so that the image is written to the tape.
