I agree with Martin.
An issue that prompts a tapealert may not mean that the heads need to be cleaned.
I prefer to monitor, troubleshoot, and clean the tape drive manually if necessary.
That is my preference but I understand that this procedure is not always available.
The number of drives and access to the library and drives may dictate autocleaning.
If auto cleaning is required then I would opt to having the library take care of it.
