Restore Job Source Options
The Set Job Source Options dialog allows you to set options related to restore sources. The options displayed depend on the restore mode. An explanation of each field in the dialog and the available choices is provided in this section.
Source Tab fields
Tape EOJ Usage
Determines what to do with the tape when the backup job is complete.
Rewind Tapes
For a standalone tape device, this option rewinds the tape and leaves it in the drive. For a tape library tape drive, this option rewinds, unloads, and returns the tape to its slot.
Unload Tapes
For a standalone tape device, this option rewinds the tape and ejects it from the drive. For a tape library tape drive, this option rewinds, unloads, and returns the tape to its slot. For DiskDirectory, this option causes empty volsers to be used before new volsers.
Leave Tapes
For both standalone and tape library tape drives, this option leaves the tape wound to the point where the job ended and leaves it in the drive. The next job attempts to use the tape in the drive instead of mounting a new tape. In the case of standalone drive, if the currently mounted tape is unacceptable (for example, if the next backup requires a tape from a different media pool), the operator is prompted to mount another tape. In the case of a tape library, if the tape in the drive is rejected for any reason, it unloads the tape, returns it to its slot, and proceed to select another tape.
Max Devices (Devices)
Limits the number of storage devices valid for use with this job. Use this option to stop DPX from using all the drives in the selected device cluster so that some drives will be available for other purposes.
Tape Mount Attempts
The maximum number to check a tape in a standalone tape device.
Mount Interval (Seconds)
The number of seconds to wait between checking the availability of a tape in a standalone tape device.

If Pre-Script fails
The action to take if the Pre-Job Script fails.
