Managing Media with the Jobs and Media View

The Jobs and Media view displays media folders and media objects in the Data Protector Express
catalog. You can use this page to work with these catalog objects.
For example, you can create new media folders and media objects on this page, as well as delete media
folders and media.
The slot is known to hold media that is in the current catalog.
The slot held valid media previously. Data Protector Express verifies that the media
is valid before using it. When you exit and restart Data Protector Express, media
marked Valid is reset to Probably Valid.
The slot holds media that is definitely not in the current catalog.
The slot holds media that may not be in the current catalog. When you exit and restart
Data Protector Express, media marked Invalid is reset to Probably Invalid.
The slot is either known to be empty or a user changed its status to Empty.
The slot was empty previously. When you exit and restart Data Protector Express, slots
marked Empty are reset to Probably Empty.
The status of the slot is not known, usually because it has not been used yet.
A user marked the slot as holding a cleaning cartridge. The number of remaining
cleaning cycles also appears. Data Protector Express does not verify that a cleaning
cartridge was, in fact, inserted into this slot.
The slot previously contained a cleaning tape. When you exit and restart Data
Protector Express, slots marked Cleaning Tape are reset to Probably Cleaning Tape.
The slot was disabled by a user. Data Protector Express will ignore it during any job.
You can only change the status of a reserved slot. Data Protector Express changes
the status of all other slots during normal operations.
