Compression

For the autoloader, data compression is drive-dependent. The front panel and
On-board Remote Management display whether or not compression is enabled.

Compressing the data means that the drive can write more data to the same
amount of tape. Compression also increases the performance of the data
transfers from or to the SCSI bus.

Compression is enabled or disabled in your 3rd party backup software (such as
Veritas, Yosemite, NetBackup, or Microsoft backup).

Important

Compression cannot be changed from

the front panel or On-board Remote

Management of the autoloader.

To view the compression setting:

From any page, click Configuration. The Configuration screen opens.
Under the Compression heading, the current compression setting is
shown as Compression Enabled or Compression Disabled.

Cleaning tape

To enable or disable the Auto Clean function, you must also designate a slot for
the cleaning tape cartridge. If a slot has not been designated, the box shows
None.

To designate the cleaning tape slot:

1

Load a cleaning tape into an empty slot using the Commands page.

2

Enable or disable Auto Clean by selecting the check box.
