    You can create and schedule a cleaning job for a robotic library drive. Additionally,
    Backup Exec automatically cleans a robotic library drive when the drive issues a
    tape alert that it requires cleaning.
    Before submitting a cleaning job, you must define a cleaning slot that contains
    the cleaning tape
     
    To run a cleaning job
     
    1 On the navigation bar, click Devices.
     
    2 Click the drive or robotic library containing the drive, and then select the
    drive.
     
    3 Under Drive Tasks in the task pane, select Clean
    .
    4 To specify a job name or a job priority, in the Properties pane, under Settings,
    click General.
     
     
    5 If you want a person or group to be notified when the job completes, in the
    Properties pane, under Settings, click Notification and select the options
    you want.
     
     
    6 If you want to run the job now, click RunNow. Otherwise, on the Properties
    pane, under Frequency, click Schedule to set the scheduling options you
    want to use.
