hi folks,
I wondering if I'm making extra copies of my files.
I have a storage pool hierarchy set up, with 2 disks pool and 2 primary tape
pools and a copy tape pool.
The two disk pools are DISKDATA_BACKUP and DISKDATA_ARCHIVE,
the primary tape pools are BACKUP and ARCHIVE,
the copy pool is OFFSITE.
All the clients backup to DISKDATA_BACKUP (archive to DISKDATA_ARCHIVE). I have
a max file size of 512 MB.
Every night after the backup, I backup DISKDATA_BACKUP and DISKDATA_ARCHIVE to
OFFSITE.
I then migrate DISKDATA_BACKUP and DISKDATA_ARCHIVE to BACKUP and ARCHIVE
respectively.
And my question is, when I backup BACKUP and ARCHIVE to OFFSITE, I'm I making
duplicate copies of my files? I do this because there may be files larger than
512 MB that get backed up.
