About backing up data to Amazon Glacier

When a NetBackup backup job is run to backup data in to Amazon Glacier, NetBackup internally uses the Amazon zero day lifecycle policy. The data objects are tagged as NetBackupType=LongTerm. Only the data objects are backed up to Glacier storage, while the metadata objects reside in the Standard storage.
