Autoloader Operation
3.On the Commands submenu, scroll to Inventory.
4.Press Enter.
The autoloader scans the barcodes on all the cartridges present.
Note: If no barcode label is present the autoloader checks for the presence or absence of cartridges in all locations.
Set Data Compression
You can set the autoloader to write data to the tape in its native (uncompressed) format or to compress it. Compressing the data means that the autoloader can typically write twice as much data to the same amount of tape. Actual compression may vary, depending on the type of data being backed up. Compression also increases the performance of the data transfers from or to the SCSI bus.
Typically you will want to leave this option enabled unless you are backing up data that is already compressed. Attempting to compress compressed data can reduce performance and increase data size.
To set compression option:
1. On the main menu, scroll to Configuration.
