Separating paper backing from 120 roll film

I'm going to be trying to develop my first roll of 120 film (Tri-X, if it makes any difference) in a day or so. Can someone explain to me how to remove the paper backing?

Is the paper bonded to the film for its entire length or just at the ends?

Does the film run the entire length of the roll, or are the front and back leaders just paper?

Aside from dealing with the paper, is there anything else different from loading 35mm film onto a stainless reel?
