Setting up a library for automatic cleaning
Depending on the model and manufacturer, some libraries support automatic cleaning cycles. They will
alert Data Protector Express when a cleaning cycle needs to be performed. If Data Protector Express
knows that a particular storage slot on a library magazine holds a cleaning cartridge, Data Protector
Express will automatically run a cleaning cycle before running a backup job whenever a cleaning cycle is
required.
NOTE: If you are using a device that is not a library, you must manually clean the device at the
manufacturer’s suggested intervals.
For more information on setting up a cleaning cartridge on a library, see Status page.
To set up a library for automatic cleaning
1. Insert a cleaning cartridge into the library and then change the status of the storage slot.
To change the status of the storage slot to cleaning do the following:
a. From the Favorites desk bar, open the Devices view and select the library.
b. Expand the library until you locate and select the storage slot in which you inserted the cleaning
cartridge.
c. Right-click the storage and select Element Status .
d. Change the status from its current setting to

c. Follow the instructions on the screen to select the library device that you want to clean.

cycle.
