Configuring multiple copies in a relocation schedule
To configure a relocation schedule for basic disk staging to create multiple copies, use the following procedure.
To configure a relocation schedule for basic disk staging to create multiple copies
- Open the NetBackup web UI.
- Open the storage unit that you want to edit. Then edit the Staging schedule.
- On the Attributes tab, select Multiple copies.
- In the Copies field, specify the number of copies to create simultaneously. The number must be between 1 and 4.
- Specify a priority in the field Priority of relocation jobs started from this schedule (0 to 99999).
- For each copy you want to create, select the copy settings. Copy 1 is the primary copy. If Copy 1 fails, the first successful copy is the primary copy.
- Specify the storage unit where each copy is stored. If a Media Manager storage unit has multiple drives, it can be used for both the source and the destination.
- Specify the volume pool where each copy is stored.
- Select one of the following from the If this copy fails list:
Continue
Continues making the remaining copies.
Note:
Note: If Take checkpoints every __ minutes is selected for this policy, only the last failed copy that contains a checkpoint can be resumed.
Fail all copies
Fails the entire job.
- For tape media, specify who should own the media onto which NetBackup writes the images:
Any
NetBackup selects the media owner, either a media server or server group.
None
Specifies that the media server that writes to the media owns the media. No media server is specified explicitly, but you want a media server to own the media.
A server group
Specifies that a media server group allows only those media servers in the group to write to the media on which backup images for this policy are written. All media server groups that are configured in the NetBackup environment appear in the list.
These settings do not affect images that reside on disk. One media server does not own the images that reside on shared disks. Any media server with access to the shared pool of disk can access the images.
