Configure PostScan Blackout Periods

that during your backup window, all of the cartridges in the partition are
immediately available and ensures that a Global Spare drive is available if
needed.

Important
When configuring blackout periods, keep the following information in mind:

 If PostScan is actively verifying a tape at the time the blackout period starts, it
completes the current scan. No additional tapes are scanned until the blackout
period expires.
