Configure drive cleaning for Oracle Secure Backup during the drive setup.

When you add tape drives to your Oracle Secure Backup configuration, select Yes from the Auto clean list. Enter the following information:

  • Clean interval (duration) — The desired interval between cleaning cycles.

  • Clean using emptiest — Select Yes to use cleaning cartridges in round-robin fashion, starting from the least-used cartridge. Select No to use each cleaning cartridge until it expires, starting from the cartridge with the fewest remaining cleaning cycles (the default).
