Joe,

Yes, you can start backup stgpools before your cleint backups are
complete.
NO, the client data arriving at the server after the backup stgpool is
begun does not get backed up to the copypool in this cycle.  Backup
stgpool is an incremental function in the same sense of client
incrementals:  a comparison is made between stgpool & copypool up front,
and then only new objects get copied.

Regards,
Al Barth

        Subject:        backup storage pools - quick question...


Can I start to backup storagepools before the backups are complete?

I assume that the data written to tape during the backup of the storage
pools (for offsite tapes) will also been written providing that it is
there before the process finishes.?!
