Circular Mode

Note

Circular mode is only applicable when the autoloader is in

Sequential mode.

This option turns Circular mode on or off. When Circular mode is on, the

autoloader automatically reloads the first cartridge in the sequence into the

tape drive after unloading the last cartridge in the sequence. If Circular mode

is turned off and the last cartridge has been unloaded, the autoloader stops

loading cartridges until you manually load another cartridge.

possible to overwrite data on previously written cartridges.
