We just bought the TL2000.
In reading thru the user guide (page 118-119), it defines "random mode" and "sequential mode". My question is...What is the difference?
I ask because I am unable to discern when one would be used over another. Here are a couple questions I walked away with after reading the definitions.
1. If I select 'Sequential mode' and Loop, it states that it allows endless backup operations without user interaction. Well, this sounds enticing.However, a caveat states that only 1 drive will be utilized. So, just to clarify, does that mean the 2nd drive would effectively become useless?
2. In reading different forum questions on separate issues, i have seen the recommendation to turn off Sequential and turn on Random mode. What are the pros and cons of using one over another?
3. In what scenario would an organization want to choose Random over Sequential or vica versa.
Thanks!
