About configuring media name and attribute rules
NetBackup uses the default settings and rules to name and assign attributes to new removeable media. NetBackup uses these rules when you do the following:
Use the Volume Configuration Wizard to add new media.
Use the Robot Inventory dialog box to inventory a robot. If NetBackup discovers new media in the robot, it adds that media to NetBackup.
For most configurations, the default settings work well. However, you can change the default settings and rules that NetBackup uses. Change the settings only if you have special hardware or usage requirements. You can change the settings from the Volume Configuration Wizard or from the Robot Inventory dialog box.
The following table shows the rules that you can configure:
