To write protect a cartridge

Click Edit for the appropriate cartridge. Check the Write Protected check box for the cartridge. Your

backup application will not be able to write any more data to it.

To edit maximum size

The only time you can resize cartridges is when you first create an autoloader or add slots and they are

blank. Once the cartridges are made available to the backup application, it formats them ready for use

and they are no longer blank, even if you have not yet written data to them. Similarly, the erase function

on most backup applications does not return the cartridge to a completely blank state.
The Max Size defaults to 200 GB, but if the Used Size is Blank, you can edit this value. The maximum

value allowed is 800 GB.
Click Edit for the appropriate slot. Select a value from the drop-down menu and click Update.

NOTE:

The maximum size indicates the physical disk space available for that slot; it will only be committed

when data is written to it. Changing the maximum space does not affect actual disk usage or save

disk space, but may be useful if you know you will be moving data to a physical tape with a smaller

cartridge capacity.

To create a cartridge

Slots that are empty have an extra button, called Create.
