Hello List,

i know i asked this already, but i didn´t get an answer who solves this
yet. sorry...

How can i get bacula to run every saturday a cleaning tape in my library?

This is a bad idea. On most modern drives, you clean when the cleaning light comes on. If you have a DDS drive, cleaning once a month should be sufficient. If you run TapeAlert, and your drive is not too old, you will see when errors are occurring -- that also indicates the need for cleaning.

I already get the message that i should use an admin job, but how can i
say use slot 8 from
library? The cleaning tape has no Label so i couldn´t call it that way.

Thanks for every hint!

How do you clean your tape drives? Manually?

I have DLT, the cleaning light comes on about once a year.

We have an AIT-2 drive. Once a year? this is great! our drive has such a light too, but it is on almost every monday
when i change tapes.

regards,
Timo
