When Data Protector Express runs any scheduled automatic rotation job, it automatically creates media folders for the job. The folders are organized by the name of the job and the various rotation sets in that job.
Move media to new media location on overwrite
Setting this checkbox moves media from the Media to be used folder to the New media location folder when it is used.
WARNING! If this option is turned off it is possible for a job to exhaust its set of available media to use and stop running.
Rename media to new media
Setting this checkbox renames existing media being overwritten to the name which would have been used had it been freshly formatted. When this is off, previously formatted media used by this job will retain the name it was given when it was used previously.
New media name
Enter the name Data Protector Express gives to any new media it creates while running the job. For scheduled automatic rotation jobs, Data Protector Express automatically updates this setting to match the media’s place in the rotation schedule and this setting has no effect.
For manual rotation and unscheduled jobs, Data Protector Express assigns any new media it creates the name listed in this field. This is also true for automatic rotation jobs that are “forced” to run. If the job creates more than one media, the job will use this setting as a template to create a unique media name containing this setting.
