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.
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)
