Removable Media Tab

Use options on the Removable Media tab to set default values for segment size when creating Archive Files, whether or not using a Storage Profile Definition, and Extract Files. When an Archive or Extract File is larger than the space limitation for the target media, the file must be segmented to span more than one volume.

Default Segment Sizes (MB)

Fixed
Enter the segment size (0 - 9999 MB) to use when the target destination is a fixed drive (i.e. hard disk). To specify no limit, enter a value of 0 (zero).
Note:
  • This value also applies to Archive Files copied to a backup device, because Archive Files are created on disk before being copied to a backup device.
  • The maximum segment size when the target is a Centera Server is 2 GB.
Removable
Enter the segment size (1 - 9999 MB) to use when the target destination is a removable device (e.g., zip drive).
Note: The naming convention for a segmented file is:
filename_1.ext,filename_2.ext, (...filename_n.ext ), filename.ext. The name of the last segment is the file name specified in the process request. For example, when creating an Archive File named c:\arch\archtest.af that requires three segments, the segments are named as follows:
c:\arch\archtest_1.af (segment 1)
c:\arch\archtest_2.af (segment 2)
c:\arch\archtest.af (segment 3)
