Air Cleaner User Manual

You will be presented with the following menu:
The fields have the following meaning:
Input device or file name
Specify the locally attached tape drive or virtual device name where the
backup file images exist. For example: /dev/rmt0.
Backup Sequence Number
Specify the backup image to position to on the input device before
beginning the process. For example, if you had 3 backups stacked on to
the same tape, and you would like to copy backup 2 to the output
device, specify “2” in this field.
Rewind tape before starting copy?
Specify whether to rewind the input device before starting the process.
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 directory name that will be the output of this operation. For
example: /backup_copies.
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.
