Sorry, I usually do check the archives, but I made a midification to my
e-mail address and it has been giving me some grief...I was leaning
towards letting the vault take care of itself, and just telling
Networker there was one less slot.

OK, now that I can actually use the vault, another thing came up. The
PowerVault 132T can do its own autocleaning when the drive needs it by
defining a cleaning slot and putting a cleaning tape in it. Well, I know
Networker can do the same thing (although I think cleanings are based on
time rather than however the drive senses the need). Should I let the
vault do it, or Networker? If the latter, I assume I don't configure the
cleaning slot in the vault, but simply tell networker which slot has the
tape?


Search the archive for this list.  Software (NetWorker) vs. hardware
(jukebox-initiated) cleaning has been discussed at length before.  There
are good arguments for each "side" and neither method is perfect.

I personally use jukebox-initiated cleaning, not NetWorker's
software-controlled cleaning.
