Configuring multiple copy synthetic backups

To configure a multiple copy synthetic backup, create a configuration file on the master server for each synthetic backup policy for which a second copy is to be produced.

The configuration file is a text file that is named after the policy and schedule:

multi_synth.policy.schedule

Create the file in the following location:

  • On Windows:

    install_path\NetBackup\db\config\multi_synth.policy.schedule

  • On UNIX:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/multi_synth.policy.schedule
