I saw that, but is is to me a crude hack. Plus I loose the ability
to easily report and check compliance for systems. It doesn't help
with tape backups either.
My typical SLP is:
Backup to DD
Dupe to Tape
Dupe to Alternate site DD
or for systems primary backed up to alternate site:
Backup to Alternate site DD
Dupe to Main site DD
Dupe to Tape
Keeping track of multi-synths making sure they all completed and
duplicating the appropriate copy to tape is very easy to manage and
maintain with SLP.
What would be cool is if you could use the multi-synth capability in
an SLP like:
Backup to DD
Dupe to Tape
Multi-synth backup to Alternate site DD from local images - with
Opt-Synth if storage supports it.
or for systems primary backed up to alternate site:
Backup to Alternate site DD
Multi-synth backup to Main site DD from local images - with
Opt-Synth if storage supports it.
Dupe to Tape

Hello
did you already check this?
Clarification to Multiple Copy Synthetic

For me this worked with 7.0.1.

SLP ??
SLP policies can be checked for compliance also.
I have a daily script that check for any incomplete SLP images
and sends backup admins a nastygram. It has not fired yet due to
fast opt dupe on out datadomains :).
My only gripes with SLP (and they may be addressed with an EEB
or with 7.1, I don't know) are:
SLP policies cannot be used for synthetic backups. They will
look like it works but none of the duplications run. Can you say
dataloss?
SLP policies cannot be used for GRT backups (EG: Sharepoint
backups maded with GRT turned on).

Pranav,
SLP’s enable you to duplicate backup
images to multiple different locations all the while
ensuring that Netbackup retains full visibility of the
duplicated images wherever they end up residing. In our
environment, where we’d traditionally used Data Domain’s
built in replication technology, Netbackup was aware of
the backup image but was not aware of the duplicate copy
on our replica data domain appliance. We still use
Data Domain but now, using SLP’s, Netbackup is aware of
both copies and all the duplication jobs are visible
inside the activity monitor. You can also use the same
SLP for multiple policies. You just point your policy
to it like you’d point it to storage unit and the SLP
does the rest.
I’m sure there are lots of other
benefits but this is at least a start.

Hello Geeks,
I am looking
for some of the advantages of SLP.
All I think
is that we can duplicate data and with diffrent
retention periods?
