E-Mail notification when cleaning tape is needed

[f_mancari]

Hi

Is there a way to generate a e-mail notification when cleaning tape is needed?

I have configured the alerts in Backup Exec for media error.

Is this right? Will this generate a mail and say cleaning tape is needed?

Thanks for help.

Backup Exec 2012

Windows Server Standard 2008 R2

Unfortunately, no.

For some tape libraries, like HP, you can configure it to auto-clean when it needs to be cleaned.

Otherwise, you can schedule a cleaning job to run periodically.

Ok, thanks.
