Media type (new media setting)

Specifies the type for the new media that are added to a robot. The list includes the media types that are valid for the robot.

How NetBackup determines the new media type depends on the Use barcode rules setting, as follows:

Use barcode rules is selected.
See Media type when using barcode rules.
Use barcode rules is not selected.
See Media type when not using barcode rules.

Note:

For API robots, the Media type is always set to DEFAULT. To specify a media type for API robots, use the Media Type Mappings tab of the dialog box.

See Configuring media type mappings.
