Queuing

Setting up Queued Transfers

Queuing makes it quick and easy to stack up multiple transfers of the same type to each tape.

macOS

Canister for Mac disables Spanning mode when there is a queue and vice versa, Queuing when there is an active Spanning transfer.

Canister for Mac uses a separate Transfer List for Queued Archives and Retrieves. To add a new transfer click the Transfer List "+" button in the bottom left hand corner of the window, then work through the steps to add each additional transfer.

Rinse and repeat as many times as required. Canister will work its way through the each item in the queue until completion.

Windows

Canister for Windows will seamlessly segue from processing Queued Transfers into Spanning mode.

Canister for Windows uses the same Transfer List for Queued Archives and Retrieves. To add transfers click either Archive or Retrieve, then work through the steps to add each additional transfer.

Rinse and repeat as many times as required. Canister will work its way through the each item in the queue until completion.
