How to Configure Cleaning Slots

This section describes how you can configure more than one cleaning slot.

If supported by your library, you can use CA ARCserve Backup to specify more than one cleaning slot. You can designate a slot based on the following:

Slot number--This option lets you designate specific slots as cleaning slots. You can specify one or more cleaning slots and they do not need to be in a successive order.
Bar code prefix--This option lets you designate slots based on a bar code prefix.
Example 1: If your cleaning tape bar code number is CLN123, specify "CLN*" as the bar code prefix.

Example 2: If you are using more than one cleaning tape, and their bar codes start with ABC, specify "ABC*" as the bar code prefix.
