Air Cleaner User Manual

The fields have the following meaning:
Input Device or file name
Specify the local directory path or device name where the backup file
images exist. For example: /dev/cd1 or
/backup_images/SB.hostname.date.TOC.
Output hostname of server
Specify the hostname of the system which contains the tape drive or
virtual device specified by the Output device or Directory field.
Output device or directory
Specify the name of the tape drive or virtual device that will be the
output of this operation. For example: /dev/rmt0.
Output device buffer size (in Kbytes)
Specify the buffer size to use when storing data to the output device.
The default is 64k. The buffer size indicates the amount of data that is
written to the output device in a single output operation. Using a
buffer size that best optimizes a particular device can have significant
performance advantages.
Note: The larger the buffer size, the more memory will be used by the
system during the operation.
Compress data before writing to output media?
Specifying this option will cause the data to be compressed by this
system prior to writing to the backup device. You should not compress
data if the device you are writing to has built-in compression capability,
unless you are writing the backup to a remote host and wish to send
less data over the network.
Note: Compressing the backup using software and device compression
may cause the data to actually grow in size, as well as, to
corrupt it.
