You have to set the Copy #2 (Pool B) Copy to the Primary Copy.

Investigate bpexpdate with the -npc switch.  Netbackup does not
automatically do this for you.  You might investigate taking out the
copy #2 instead of the copy #1 to make this sort of thing easier.
(Switch which copy writes where in your policy configuration.)

Hi simple question for all you pros...


I set up a backup schedule that is set to backup to two volume pools at
the same time.. I have restored from the first pool (Pool A) and now
what to restore from the second (Pool B) but cant get backup,archive and
restore to switch from the tape in volume "Pool A" even if i take the
tape from Pool A out of the library and leave the tape from "Pool B"
when setting of the restore it still look for the tape taken out can you
guys tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I am currently using Netbackup 6 MP5 and specified multiple copies in
the policy attributes (set to two copies 99999 priority)

Thanks
Marcus
