Clean Device command
cycle.
This command is supported only by libraries. If a device in a library provides notification that it needs
cleaning and the library has a cleaning cartridge available, a cleaning cycle will be performed
automatically at the start of a backup job. If you are using a device that is not a library, you must
manually clean the device at the manufacturer's suggested intervals.
To clean a device in a library, highlight the device and select Clean Device from the Device menu. Data
Protector Express will check to see if one of the slots holds a cleaning cartridge. If it does, the cleaning
cycle will be performed in the background; if not, an error message is shown.
If the Clean Device command is missing, it is not available for your backup device. In this case, a
cleaning cycle can often be performed by manually inserting a cleaning cartridge into the backup device.
Identify Media command
device. Data Protector Express tries to identify the tape or other media that is currently loaded in the
device. If Data Protector Express cannot identify the media, it reads the media header, a process that
may take up to several minutes. The name of the media appears on the log file for the media job.
Sort Media command
can sort the media by name or by bar code in ascending or descending order.
