Note, however, that for built-in schedule jobs, TapeWare looks for media with specific 
names in specific folders. If it does not find the precise media it is looking for, TapeWare 
will display an alert. For this reason, it is best to let TapeWare automatically create its 
own media for automatic rotation jobs than to manually create the media in advance. 

When you create new media, TapeWare (1) creates a new database object and (2) 
physically formats the current media in the device. This will cause any current data on 
that media to be erased. When you create new media, be certain that the media TapeWare 
will format is no longer needed. 

When you format the new media, TapeWare opens the Format Media window. Use this 
window to name the media and select a media folder in which to store the media. You 
must also select a device. TapeWare will format the media currently loaded in the device 
you select. If you select an autoloader, select the storage slot that holds the media you 
want to use. 

When you format 

new media, type 

the name of the 

new media in the 

 field. 

Use the 
Browse

 button

to select the 
device you 
want to use to 
format the new
media. 

If you are using an 

autoloader, select 

the storage slot 

that stores the 

media to be 

formatted. 

 

When you format media, you can also assign the media password. See Media Passwords 
later in this chapter for more information. 

1.  Select the existing folder in which you want to store the new Media.
