You need to set you max backup copies to 3 or higher under host properties -> master server -> <hostname> -> properties -> global attributes.
 
also, if you want to create 2 copies, you can do that in the DSSU properties.
right click the STU, select "change" -> disk staging schedule -> check multiple copies -> configure, set # of copies to "2", then configure the volume pool and retention for each copy. you save a ton of time by writing both at once, then you only need to use Vault to eject the offsite copy.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] 5.1 Disk Staging & Vault Duplications

Greetings,
 
I believe i know the answer, but i will see if more experienced people have delt with this before.
 
I have a Netbackup 5.1 (MP5)  environment, I have just added a new disk staging storage unit for Database backups.
 
I need to get two copies of these backups put onto tape, the first copy is easy as the DSSU takes care of that ( with the retention specified in the policy ). I seed to get a second copy made for offsite with a longer retention.
 
I have set up a Vault profile for these jobs however when it goes to duplicate the images it failes with 190, the duplicate log says skipping ... it already has 2 copies.
 
Vault is counting the copy on the disk, and the copy made by the dssu staging back to tape.
 
Is this expected behaviour or is there some way for Vault to "ignore?" the temporary copy on disk. I imagine it is and my only option is to up the "maximum backup copies" on the master.
 
anybody been down this road before ?.
 
thanks.
