It looks like the answer is something I have not touched yet...

Storage Lifecycle Policies

Someone please assure I have the right understanding here:

I have created a Storage Lifecycle Policy named "slp-fileserver"

I have modified the "Full" schedule, that runs over the weekend, to override 
it's policy storage selection and use the "slp-fileserver" storage lifecycle 
policy as it's storage policy. (this was previously set to "Multiple Copies" 
and copy 1 to my virtual tape library and copy 2 to my physical tape library)

The slp-fileserver storage lifecycle policy is configured like this:


   Use For       Storage Unit    
 Retention Type    Retention

1. Backup        fileserver-vtl   Fixed  
           2 weeks
2.  Duplication  mediaserver-tld  Fixed      
       2 month



So it my understanding that this storage lifecycle policy will first do it's 
backup with the fileserver's own storage unit (fiber transport) to the VTL. And 
then, I have a seperate media server duplicate that backup image to the 
physical tape library during the day as to put no load on our file servers 
during business hours.


Do I have this correct?


The only thing I don't accomplish here, is I wish to schedule the duplication 
portion of that lifecycle to happen during the daytime, but the lifecycle 
policy gives me no control of that.
