Deleting an Archived Clip

To delete an archived clip:

1. In the tree pane, select the library, cartridge, and partition where the archived

clip is stored.

2. In the contents pane, select the archived clip or clips you want to delete.

3. Press the

Delete

or

Backspace

key, or choose

Delete

from the

File

menu or

from the shortcut menu with a right-click.

When an archived clip is deleted, it is not moved to the

Recycle

bin. It is

removed from the library database’s record of archived clips. Also, since tape
is not a random access medium, the storage space is not reclaimed as it is on the
disk drives, and the space cannot be reused until all clips in a partition have
been deleted.

NOTE: The delete operation does not take effect until after an Update
operation (see “Updating and Inventorying Cartridges” on page 144)
.

Importing a Cartridge

To import a cartridge is to insert or add it into the library system:

1. In the tree pane, select the library icon. If you have a stand-alone drive, you

must insert the cartridge you are importing into the drive.

2. Choose

Import

either from the

File

menu or from the shortcut menu with a

right-click. The Import Cartridge dialog box appears (see Figure 63). If you
have two or more PLS20 systems connected simultaneously, you must enter
a drive number when prompted.
