Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a TL4000 and the 4 drives show up as &quot;Dirty&quot; in the Web Interface and require cleaning becasue till that is done the backup software that we use (Netbackup) will not start.<br />
<br />
I see an error in the logs of the Netbackup software that the cleaning must be done.<br />
<br />
I inserted a cleaning tape in I/O SLOT 1 and when I move it to any of the 4 drives of my libarary the cleaning does not start which is odd becasue I have done this before and as soon as I would move the CT in the drive the cleaning would start but not in this case.<br />
<br />
So i tried with another cleaning tape maybe the first one was broken or damaged but even the second one did not work and the cleaning does not take place.<br />
<br />
Now 2 cleaning tapes cant be broken at the same time can they? Does anyone have an idea as the what is going on?<br />
<br />
I have rebooted the libarary multiple time but to no avail!<br />
<br />
Thanks in Advance<br />

Issues with cleaning the TL4000 Drives

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
