Script for cleaning tape drive in autoloader

G

Gar

Is there a command line option to initiate a tape drive
cleaning operation for Windows 2000 Backup/RSM?

I recently installed a PowerVault 120T DDS4 library on my
Windows 2000 server. I am using Windows Backup and RSM to
manage tape rotation and media pools. I have all my
backup jobs scheduled and have written a short script that
allows the magazines to be changed out. My only remaining
task is to get the library to clean itself when it
requires cleaning. I have reserved a slot for the
cleaning cartridge and can manually initiate it. Does
anyone know how to set up RSM or the hardware so it will
automatically clean when it needs it? Failing that, is
there a command line option I can put in a batch file so
our AA doesn't have to navigate through the MMC to clean
the drive when it needs it?

Thanks!
