Howdy All,
I would like to know if there is a way (even a sneaky way) to have a
different number of copies onsite versus offsite? Currently we keep x
number according to the copy group, then we perform a backup stg to a
copy storage pool.
There is nowhere in this model to allow for a different retention
requirements?
The only alternative is to not perform offsiting on the main stg pool,
perform another backup (via another node bound to another mgm) to
another stg pool and perform offsiting on this stgpool. Unfortunately
this would mean 3 copies of data, one onsite (kept for a long time) and
2 copies of data being kept for a short time. This would cause the
backup window to increase (not double, since we could run them at the
same time, if the network can handle it).

Is there a better way?
