Where

is the name of the file you will use to simulate a

dirty drive, and

is the name of the drive you want to

test.

You can add multiple entries for various drives. Do not add any
directories in front of the name of the file.

Testing the
Configuration

In order to test your configuration, do the following:

1. In the Data Protector

tmp

directory, create an empty file that will be

used to simulate a dirty drive. Use the same name as in the

simtab

or

.simtab

file.

2. Start a backup using the drive you are testing.

Data Protector behaves as though the selected drive were dirty and
performs the cleaning action.

To stop simulating dirty drive behavior for the specific drive, delete the
file used for simulation.
