[Veritas-bu] Snap backup methods.

Greetings,

I really feel like a pest lately but I need some more help. I think I should be able to do what I want to do, but I can't figure out how to do it. I have a NetApp filer that I use as a snapvault secondary. It has the NearStore license and personality. I use regular nightly snapvault schedules to backup the primary volumes to the secondary. I do not want to have Veritas touch or be involved with the primary filers in in way.

What I would like to do is have Veritas create a local snapshot on my secondary for each volume I want it to back up and then back that snapshot up to a tape library on my master/media server.

The closest I seem to be able to get is to create a disk storage unit for each volume I want to backup and then have to create a separate policy for each volume I want to back up using the separate storage unit somehow. The more I read the Snapshot Client Admin guide the more confused I'm getting.

Thanks,

Jeff
