Configuring the disc/tape media
Before you begin, make sure the DS-System has the following:
• Adequate buffer space where the files will be copied.
• A disc burner or tape writer, if applicable.
To configure the disc/tape media:
1. On the Disc/Tape menu, click Media. The Disc/Tape Media dialog box appears.
2. To add a new media type, click Add.
To edit, select the media from the list and click Modify.
3. Configure the media (pre-defined settings exist, but they can be customized):
• Limited size — disc/tape requests will be written into buffer folders that will accommodate the size of the media.
• Unlimited size — disc/tape requests will be written to a single buffer location, but can take advantage of multiple write threads for faster performance.
4. Click OK to save the media profile. The media list is updated.
• From the DS-Client, your customers can now use the disc/tape option. For more information, see the DS-Client User Guide.
• From the DS-System, you can create disc/tape snapshots at the backup set level using the DS-Operator GUI.
