Operation types in a storage lifecycle policy

The Operation selections are the instructions in the storage lifecycle policy. The following topics describe the purpose of each operation.

  • See Backup From Snapshot operation in an SLP.

  • See Duplication operation in an SLP.

  • See Index From Snapshot operation in an SLP.

  • See Replication operation in an SLP.

  • See Snapshot operation in an SLP.

  • See Snapshot operation in an SLP.

  • See Replication operation in an SLP.

  • See Index From Snapshot operation in an SLP.

  • Backup operation. When a Backup operation appears in an SLP, it must be the first operation. In an SLP that is configured for Replication Director, the first operation must be a Snapshot operation. Since this guide concentrates on Replication Director, the Backup operation is not described here.

  • See Backup From Snapshot operation in an SLP.

  • See Duplication operation in an SLP.

  • Import operation. An Import operation is used in Auto Image Replication, in which an SLP is used to import a backup into a target NetBackup domain. Auto Image Replication does not apply to Replication Director so the Import operation is not described here.

    All operations are described in the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide or the help.
