We're planning out our backup to disk environment.  The plan is to write
backups to disk and then clone the data to tape for offsite storage.
The data will be retained on disk for some number of days to improve our
recover time.

 

Questions for folks that are doing this:

-          How many concurrent clone jobs can run?  Is this in any way
dependent on the tape pools that are being cloned to?

-          Can the cloning begin while the backups are still running?
If so, how many clone jobs can run while backups are happening?

 

Thanks.

Teresa
