Configuring Volumes - ABB 800xA User Manual

Section 7 Configuring Archives
When using archive backup, it is recommended that the device behavior be set to
Wrap When Full, and set the overwrite timeout to allow for periodic checking of the
backup destination to make sure its not full. The overwrite timeout should be two to
three times the interval that is checked for the backup destination. If checking once a
week, then set the overwrite timeout to two or three weeks. Also, the number of
volumes and volume size must be configured to hold that amount of data (in this
case two to three weeks). This is covered in
Following these guidelines will ensure reliable archival with ample time to check
the backup destination and move the archive files to an offline permanent storage
media.

Configuring Volumes

Hard disks can be partitioned into multiple volumes. This involves configuring the
number of volumes, the active volume, volume quota, volume name format, and
volume name counter. Specify whether or not to have archive volumes
automatically published when the media where the volumes have been copied are
remounted. Configuring volumes is not applicable for MO drives.
The Volumes field specifies the number of volumes on the media that this archive
device can access. The maximum range is 64. The quantity specified here will result
in that number of Archive Volume objects being created under the Archive Device
object after the change is applied,

Volume Quota is the partition size for each volume in megabytes. For example, a
20 gigabyte hard disk can be partitioned to five 4000-megabyte partitions where
4000 (MB) is the Volume Quota and five is the number of volumes as determined by
the Volumes field. Typically, size volumes on the hard disk to correspond to the size
of the ROM media to which the archive data will be copied, for example 650 MB for
CD ROM, or 4000 MB for DVD. The minimum Volume Quota value is 100M.
