Optical media formats with saving and restoring operations

Save and restore volume list processing differs for each optical media format.

A volume list is used on a save or restore request when multiple optical volumes are required for the operation, thus creating a volume set. All volumes in a volume set must have the same optical media format. Volume sets are not supported for CD media formatted with ISO 9660.

You must initialize media of type permanent WORM and CCW WORM with the media format of High Performance Optical File System (HPOFS).

You can initialize media of type rewritable with HPOFS format or Universal Disk Format (UDF).

You must initialize the DVD type of media that is used by DVD-RAM stand-alone drive devices with UDF.
