Table: Configure Multiple Copies dialog box
Field | Description |
|---|
Copies | NetBackup can create up to four copies of a backup simultaneously. The storage units must be on the same media server and there must be sufficient resources available for each copy.
To create more than 4 copies, create additional copies at a later time by using duplication. |
Priority of duplication job | Indicate the priority that the duplication job (based on this schedule) has over other jobs in the queue (0 to 99999). |
Primary copy | Copy 1 is the primary copy. If Copy 1 fails for some reason, the first successful copy is the primary copy. See Promoting a copy to a primary copy. |
Storage unit | Specify the storage unit where each copy is to be stored. If a Media Manager storage unit has multiple drives, you can use it for both the source and the destination. To let NetBackup decide at run-time, select . |
Volume pool | Indicate where each copy is to be stored. |
Retention schedule | Specify how long NetBackup retains the backups.
See Retention (schedule attribute). |
If this copy fails | In the event that the copy does not complete, select whether you want the entire job to fail (fail all copies), or whether you want the remaining copies to continue.
Regardless of how the fail or continue flag is set, all the copy jobs wait in the queue until resources are available for all copies. The first job does not start until the copies have resources.
If a copy is configured to allow other copies to continue the job if the copy fails, and if Checkpoint restart for backup jobs is selected for this policy, only the last failed copy that contains a checkpoint can be resumed.
See Take checkpoints every __ minutes (policy attribute). |
Media owner |
Select who should own the media onto which NetBackup writes the images. The following options are available: Any Lets NetBackup select the media owner, either a media server or server group. None Specifies that the media server that writes to the media that owns the media. No media server is specified explicitly, but you want a media server to own the media. A server group Specify a media server group to allow 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 drop-down list. See Creating or deleting a NetBackup server group.
