Configuring the Archiving Device
The software initialization file (init.cfg) for your Visual Effects and Finishing
application contains examples of the use of the ClipMgtDevice Tape keywords.
Use them to select a block size value for your tape device, as well as to select
a text label that identifies the device in the Archiving module. Refer to the
Autodesk Visual Effects and Finishing Configuration File Reference Guide for
additional information.
You should also refer to the documentation from your archiving device vendor
for guidelines on the actual block size to use.
