Removable Media tab

Use options on the Removable Media tab to set default values for segment size when you create Archive Files, whether 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.

Example of the Removable Media tab on the Personal Options dialog, described as follows.

Default Segment Sizes (MB)

Fixed
Enter the segment size (0-9999 MB) to use when the target destination is a fixed drive (that is, a 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 they are 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, such as a 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 that is specified in the process request. For example, if you create an Archive File that is 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)
