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.
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.
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 in this release so the Import operation is not described here.
All operations are described in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I or the online Help in the NetBackup Administration Console.
