    As far as I recall there is no way to setup automatic cleaning in Backup Exec.  You can schedule a job to clean the drive on certain days, but other then that there is no automatic cleaning.  If you only want the drive to be cleaned when it needs it then you will need to configure automatic cleaning in the library as the previous poster did.

I suggest letting Backup Exec handle the drive cleaning, rather than letting the library handle it.  The user can run a cleaning job whenever desired from BE.
