DEVICE OPERATIONS
You can use this module to check retention of a logical device or
erase all data on the backup media.
This program only works if the backup media is a tape device. The
Tape Operations window, shown below, displays all configured backup
devices and their descriptions.
The rest of this section describes how to use the buttons in this
window.
Retention
You should use this option prior to using a tape for the first time
or if it has been quite a while since the tape has been used.
Highlight the logical device and click on the Retention button. A
window will appear confirming the action.
Erase
You can use this program to delete all data on the backup media,
e.g., to erase or clean tapes. Highlight the logical device you wish
to erase, then click on the Erase button. A window will appear
asking for confirmation of the action. You should use this security
precaution when a tape's use changes.
