Description
Number of Virtual Tape
Drives
Accept the default number of tape drives (based on model), or enter the number
of virtual tape drives in the partition.
Note:
If all tape drives are currently assigned to other partitions, you must
remove one or more tape drives from an existing partition to make them
available for use in a new partition.
Enable deduplication
Select the check box to enable data deduplication. Quantum recommends that
you enable data deduplication to optimize disk usage.
Note:
Data deduplication is enabled by default. You cannot enable or
disable data deduplication after the partition is added.
Enable Auto Export
Select the check box to enable auto export. When a tape is exported by the
backup application, it is placed in a virtual I/E slot. After this, one of the
following actions occurs:

slot.
