Auto format all media
into the tape drive which require formatting. With this setting selected, Data Protector Express will
automatically format all new or blank media and all unrecognized media.

New media location

Specifies the folder in which Data Protector Express will store any new media created while the job is
run. By default, Data Protector Express stores media in the current User/Group folder; the media will
appear there on the Media and Catalog views. You can also store the media in a separate media
folder inside the User/Group folder.
Select the folder in which to store any new media by clicking the Browse button. Then select the folder
from the Browse dialog box. If the folder does not exist, use the Jobs and Media view to create it
first. Then you can select New media locations.
When Data Protector Express runs any scheduled automatic rotation job, it automatically creates new
media folders for the job. The folders are organized by the name of the job and the various rotation sets
in that job. There is no reason to create these folders manually. Data Protector Express will automatically
create these folders for you.
NOTE:
Data Protector Express does not automatically create new media folders for manual jobs.

Move media to new media location on overwrite

Setting this checkbox moves media being overwritten to the location where it would have been created
had it been freshly formatted.

Rename media to new media name on overwrite

Setting this checkbox renames media being overwritten to the name which would have been used
had it been freshly formatted.

New Media Name

Enter the name Data Protector Express gives to any new media it creates while running the job. For
scheduled automatic rotation jobs, Data Protector Express automatically updates this setting to match the
media's place in the rotation schedule.
For manual rotation and unscheduled jobs, Data Protector Express assigns any new media it creates the
name listed in this field. This is also true for automatic rotation jobs that are "forced" to run.

Media Password

When a job creates new media, you can assign that media a password. A password prevents the
media from being imported into another Data Protector Express catalog and can be an important part
of your overall security plan.
To have the job assign a password to the new media, click the Media Password button and type and
confirm your password.
NOTE:
Passwords can only be assigned when media is formatted. Additionally, media passwords are only
required when importing media.
