Well, at end of each working day, put tape into drive. And as obvious as this sounds, correct tape should be placed in drive. For example, placing "Week 2" tape instead of "Week 3" tape in tape drive will reduce effectiveness of your tape rotation strategy! Your tape backup software should take care of rest.

In addition, you should monitor results of each backup to check for errors. For example, if a tape wears out and data cannot be verified, you need to take action and replace that tape. If some problem prevented a backup from completing, you need to know about it so that you can re-run backup next morning.

Be sure to also follow your manufacturer's guidelines for drive cleaning and maintenance.

Final notes

As strange as this seems, you should be at mercy of your tape backup software. And more control it exerts over you, better! Let me explain...

NTBackup assumes that you insert correct tape and it doesn't inform you of any errors. You are responsible for selecting tape according to your tape rotation scheme, and onus is on you to read result logs and discover if any errors occurred.

This means that file backup process is tedious and prone to human error. A complete solution for tape backup should take charge of your backup strategy for you.

A tape backup program should email tape rotation instructions and results of backups to you or your secretary, making your task far simpler and minimizing chance of human error. Select right tape backup software and you're already most of way to implementing a complete tape backup strategy for your business.

To correct flaws, you must go to history palette. If it you did not find it in your desktop, you can find it normally on right in Photoshop by default. Go to window > Show history. Once you have located your history palette, select bold arrow-button on its right side. Click and hold it until a menu appears then go to New Snapshot. When you release your mouse, another dialog box will appear. You must enter in it name “unsharp eyes”, then click OK.

If you have more than one snapshot in a working file, do not forget to label your snapshots to be able to have a better workflow management when it comes to organization of your images. It is nice to do it that way for easy and fast selection and for an efficient scheme.
