version (6.1.3)
We have only few cleaning tapes and where i am they buy everything,
"but not cleaning tapes for the library"
so what we did was
-- set "auto clean" =yes and "cleaning interval" =3 days nothing else,
and keep along giving the - nsrjb -U 20 -j xxxxxx -S 1
cycleing our few cleaning tapes;
Because like (DAVE) said if you "listen" to the drive cleaning light
you will dry out all your cleaning tapes going after drives that don't
really need
cleaning!!
