Overwrite Option

This dialog box appears if you are retrying the “Write to Buffer” process for a Disc/Tape request or the “Export Customer” process. DS-System has detected that usable data exists in the export location. This can happen if the previous process was stopped (by the user, because of DS-System shutdown, because connection to Disc/Tape buffer was lost, etc.).

Delete the existing data first	Delete the data from the buffer, and start a new Write to Buffer process (overwrite all data in the buffer directory).
Resume in the directory	Try to resume the process with the data that already exists in the export location. This may save you some time if a large amount has already been written.
Resume from before first error (Export Customer only)	This option appears if the previous “Export Customer” process encountered errors. Select to resume the process with the data that already exists in the export location. This may save you some time if a large amount has already been written. • The process will resume from the point before the first error was encountered.
