Format Media Option

Important! Format your media before you use them.

Although Arcserve Backup automatically formats blank media, you can use this function to manually format media. Formatting writes a new label at the beginning of the media, effectively destroying all existing data on the media.

Low level formatting is not required for Arcserve Backup supported drives.

Note: Use this feature with care! After you format media, the data it contained (if any), and any job sessions associated with this media, cannot be retrieved.
