Air Cleaner User Manual

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.
Report output type
Specify whether to display a progress indicator during the copy process
or to only display errors if encountered.
Use existing Boot image?
Specify whether to use the existing boot image on the tape such as
when transferring this backup image to a SysBack “Boot Only” tape.
This may only be used with Full System backups.
Note: This option should be set to “no” when you are also specifying
Forward to End of Tape before starting copy? to “yes”.
Platform / kernel type for tape boot image
Specify the kernel and platform type to use when creating the boot
image. Valid kernel options are: mp for multiprocessor or up for
uniprocessor. Valid platform options are: rspc, rs6k,orchrp. The option
chosen should match the kernel and platform type of the system that
will boot from this backup tape. The default is the kernel and platform
type of the machine initiating this process.
Note: This may only be used with Full System backups.
Network install support to include
Specify the type of network adapter support that should be included in
the boot image. This would be utilized in situations where you boot
from this tape but may install from an image or tape located on a
remote machine on the network. Valid options are: ethernet,
token-ring,orFDDI.
Note: This may only be used with Full System backups.
Rewind tape before starting copy?
Specify whether to rewind the output device before starting the
process. Use this option when you have manually positioned the tape
at the end of a backup sequence, or when you want to overwrite any
data already on the tape.
Forward to End of Tape before starting copy?
Specify whether to forward to the end of the last image on the output
