Multiple copy synthetic backups configuration examples
The following multiple copy synthetic configuration example takes advantage of default values to produce the second synthetic copy.
TARGET_STU=disk_stu
The default source of copy 2 and the default destination copy 2.
In this example, the second copy targets a tape library (tape_stu). The configuration specifies a volume pool (Synthetics) for the target copy.
The copy number for the multiple copy synthetic backup is copy 3. If copy 3 is unavailable, SOURCE_COPY_FALLBACK indicates that copy 3 can be produced using the primary copy.
If copy 3 fails, only copy 3 fails and not the job of the primary copy.
TARGET_STU=tape_stu VOLUME_POOL=Synthetics SOURCE_COPY_FALLBACK=PRIMARY COPY=3 ENABLED=YES FAIL_MODE=ONE
