• Initiate the duplication from the NetBackup Administration Console.

  In the NetBackup Administration Console, select NetBackup Management > Catalog and then, in the right pane, in the Action list box select the Duplicate action.

• NetBackup Vault

  Refer to the NetBackup Vault Administrator's Guide for more information.

• The bpduplicate command

  Refer to the NetBackup Commands Guide for detailed information about this command.

• A storage lifecycle policy (SLP)

  In the NetBackup Administration Console, select NetBackup Management > Storage > Storage Lifecycle Policies.

  Refer to the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I for more information about SLPs.
