If you back up the data using separate policies then each policy can
have a different retention level (0-24). These can all have a one month
retention period within DataDomain but will also have different
retention levels.
 
You can then use the retention mappings within the vault to have a
different retention period for each level. That way you only need to
have one vault process.

        Subject: [Veritas-bu] Vaulting Question
        
        
        I'm currently backing all of my systems up to DataDomain
restorers with a one month retention period for the copy on the restorer
and then duplicating from the restorer, using NetBackup Vault, to tape
with a six month retention and sending the tapes offsite to Iron
Mountain. Recently we decided to change the retention level for certain
data from six months to two months and I am trying to figure out how to
make this work with vaulting. If I create multiple profiles within one
vault, one with a six month retention and another with a two month
retention I run into the problem of scheduling, I can't run more than
one profile at a time. I could create a new vault, but then I'm
wondering how the eject and catalog backup steps work. I only want to
eject tapes once a week and run one catalog backup for off-siting. Any
help that anyone can provide on this will be greatly appreciated.
         
         
        Thanks,
