Hi

 

Im new to netbackup and want to understand about archiving.

we have 2 policies in my netbackup 6.5 enviornment.

Policy : Archive1

Type :   Full backup

Backup selection : F:\archive

 

 

As per info provide to me , first archive1 runs and data is backed up on achive tape1 and then archive 2 polict runs and it same data is backed up on archive tape 2. Archive is kept onsite and Archive 2 tapes are sent offsite.

 

If both archive backups gets successful, data from the folders gets deleted

if one of them fails, data doesnot get deleted from archive folder.

When I see these archive policies, these are normal policies. My question is how does this process works?

 

I belive its the OS who delete the data from Archive folder, but where is this information passed from Netbackup to OS?

 

As said prev, im new to Netbackup, might be its a silly question, i thought its better to ask. Please help
