Re: [Veritas-bu] Disk Staging to tape

If that's what you want to do, then
Nic's suggestion is the best for you. It's also probably the cheapest as
SLP requires Advanced Disk and associated licensing.
However, if you want to use SLP in that
manner, then you will have to utilize cron to disable and enable SLP for
the times you want it to run. It is specifically designed to get the duplications
completed as soon as it can and therefore does not (currently) have a window
like classic DSSUs. Using cron is actually mentioned in the manual or best
practice guide so it is a recognized workaround.
I'm curious what your need is to schedule
it to tape on certain days?

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
