   Low disk space threshold	Check Low disk space threshold to prevent Backup Exec from writing a job to the backup-to-disk folder when the volume reaches the threshold you specify. The low disk space threshold is the amount of free space on the drive at which Backup Exec suspends backup operations to the backup-to-disk folder. When the volume's capacity reaches this threshold, Backup Exec places current jobs on hold until disk space is available. The backup-to-disk status displays Low Disk Space. You must free some disk space to allow job submission to resume.
   Auto detect settings	Check Auto detect settings to let Backup Exec automatically detect the preferred settings for this device. Uncheck Auto detect settings if this is a device for which you want to set buffered reads or writes.
   Buffered reads	Check Buffered reads in the following situations: You do not want Backup Exec to automatically detect settings for this device You want this device to allow buffered reads, which is the reading of large blocks of data. Enabling buffered reads may provide increased performance.
   Buffered writes	Check Buffered writes in the following situations: You do not want Backup Exec to automatically detect settings for this device You want this device to allow buffered writes, which is the writing of large blocks of data.
