Advanced Verify Options

The following advanced options are available for Verify jobs

Eject media after use

When this option is checked, Data Protector Express automatically ejects the media at the end of the job. This feature only works on devices that support software eject.

Auto Retension

When this option is checked, Data Protector Express automatically re-tensions the media at the beginning of the job. This feature winds the tape cartridge end-to-end, applying equal tension to the entire media for maximum media life and data integrity. Your device must support auto re-tension to use this feature.

Native data streams format

When this option is selected, Data Protector Express will compare the data in native format. When unselected, only the data portion of the file will be verified. This must match the mode used during backup.
