You should have one or the other, but not both....

I have generally used the library auto-clean function and turned it off
in networker.   These days with the CDI support for the tape devices in
networker it is possible to do it the other way, but I have not felt the
need...

Subject: [Networker] Networker and autocleaning

 If a tape library supports autocleaning, what are the recommended
settings
 for it on the library and in networker? I guess it's more important to
have
 it set in networker, will enabling it on the autoloader interfere?

 Some pretty strange things were happening on my Superloader yesterday.
The
 tape drive got cleaned during a backup, and the cleaning tape remained
in
 the drive. After unloading it manually and restarting the backup, the
drive
 got cleaned again a few hours after the backup finished. Then, checking
up on
 the next backup last night, I found that the cleaning tape had been
moved to
 the mail slot! (Superloader = new, cleaning tape = 3 uses).
