How the order of the operations determines the copy order

The order in which the operations appear in a storage lifecycle policy determines the copy number.

For example, in Figure: Operation order determines copy order a lifecycle is configured to create three copies:

  • Two copies as part of two different backup operations.

  • One copy as part of a duplication operation.

To make sure that copy 1 is written to disk, place the Backup operation that writes to a disk storage unit before the Backup operation that writes to a tape storage unit.
