1. A computer-implemented method of automatically generating identifiers for storage devices, the method comprising:
- automatically scanning the storage device to identify manufacturing defects, wherein the manufacturing defects relate to defects in a storage medium of the storage device;
automatically identifying characteristics associated with the identified manufacturing defects;
automatically generating an identifier for the storage device based on the identified characteristics associated with the identified manufacturing defects; and
storing the generated identifier to identify the storage device,wherein the storage device does not contain an electronic serial number when manufactured, ordoes contain an electronic serial number, but wherein the electronic serial number is not used as an identifier for the removable storage device.

Abstract
A system and method for determining media to be exported out of a media library is described. In some examples, the system determines a media component to be exported, determines the media component is in the media library for a specific process, and exports the media component after the process is completed.

19. A computer-implementable method of performing storage operations on a removable storage device, the method comprising:
-
identifying the removable storage device based on an identifier stored on the device, wherein the identifier is not a label affixed to the removable storage device, and wherein the removable storage device does not contain an electronic serial number when it leaves a manufacturer, or does contain an electronic serial number, but wherein the electronic serial number is not used as an identifier for the removable storage device; determining a last time a storage operation was performed on the removable storage device based on the identifier; and when a storage operation criteria is met, then performing the storage operation on the removable storage device. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)
