Configuring a storage unit for cloud storage

Create one or more storage units that reference the disk pool.

The Disk Pool Configuration Wizard lets you create a storage unit; therefore, you may have created a storage unit when you created a disk pool. To determine if storage units exist for the disk pool, see the NetBackup Management > Storage > Storage Units window of the Administration Console.

A storage unit inherits the properties of the disk pool. If the storage unit inherits replication properties, the properties signal to a NetBackup storage lifecycle policy the intended purpose of the storage unit and the disk pool. Auto Image Replication requires storage lifecycle policies.

You can use storage unit properties to control your backup traffic.
