As Terry Lemons pointed out back in May, NetWorker 7.4 SP2 for Linux comes with a new attribute for devices. The attribute is called "Reserve/Release" which is located in the "advanced" tab. What I want to know is what each of the four reserve/release options does. I am guessing that "persistent" helps address the problem I and others have seen where NetWorker loses track of fibre channel attacked tape drives. Right? What about the other options, "simple" and "persistent +APTPL?" What do those selections do?
