Cleaning frequency

Hi guys,
One questions. How many times could I use my cleaning tape?. When I have mounted cleaning tape, I have selected 30 hours. Is it correct?
Can I increase this value?
I have net backup 5.0 mp5 with win 2000 server sp4

Thank's a lot

Andrew

Hi,
The nbr of cleaning is defined/specified on the tape itself. For example a cleaning tape for SDLTII has 20 cleanings.
You state "I have selected 30 hours"
It is not a number of hours but a number of cleanings.
Or when you mean after how many hours of drive usage you should do a cleaning ... That is difficult to say. Activate 'TapeAlert' to automate the cleaning on request of the drive itself.
