Re: [Veritas-bu] Disk Staging to tape

Oh, yeah, sorry.

In brief:

-Create a basic DSSU.

-Backup policies as per normal (i.e. daily jobs, after hours, whatever you do), pointed at your newly created DSSU as the destination storage unit.

-DSSU configured with a schedule (either using the GUI, or bpschedule – which works similar to bpplsched, but is just for DSSUs); the schedule in the DSSU specifies your destination storage unit / volume etc (which is how you get it to tape), and this is where you specify the 2 days you want it to go to tape.

If you want anymore info on it, let me know.

Cheers,

Nic

Hi Nic

Thanks for the follow up. Can you briefly decribe how you would set this up or have set this up?

I'm trying to understand the how both , disk and tape, policies would combine.

It doesn't need to use an SLP - whichever works best

Thanks again

Jack

What you want to do can be achieved easily with a basic DSSU.
The destage schedule works like a normal policy schedule, so only running on 2 specific days a week is a simple proposition...

Cheers,
Nic

Hello

I am working on a plan to backup clients to disk and later stage these off to tape.
Can anyone elaborate how this is being done from your end?

Basic Idea:

Backups occur daily to disk and the business would like to stage these to tape twice a week.

Creating a Life Cycle policy I can run a backup job and a duplication job to tape but there is no
way to schedule this to tape on certain days. Just the ability to run a duplication job.

Within a normal policy you can run an inline copy to run concurrently (up to 4 storage units) but this
appears to be backups running at the same time.

How can I combine these methods (or use another method) to run my life cycle policy backup and then
stage these to tape on a Tuesday and Thursday? Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jack
