How to clean drive?


Recommended Posts

Hi

 

This is a really simple question. I am running Retrospect 5.6 Server on a Windows 2000 server. Am using an Ultrium 1-SCSI LTO tape drive. I have started getting errors saying the heads are dirty and need cleaning.

 

I cannot for the life of me work out how to clean the device. Do I just put a cleaning tape in and it does it or do I need to somehow run a cleaning command while the tape is in the drive?

 

Have got the same problem with a DDS tape library. I have allocated one of the slots as the cleaning slot and put a cleaning tape in there, but this does not seem to do much either.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you
