Configuring a storage unit for cloud storage

Create one or more storage units that reference the disk pool.

To determine if storage units exist for the disk pool, click Storage > Storage units in the web UI.

A storage unit inherits the properties of the disk pool. If the storage unit inherits replication properties, the properties signal to a NetBackup storage lifecycle policy the intended purpose of the storage unit and the disk pool. Auto Image Replication requires storage lifecycle policies.

For details of configuring a storage unit, see NetBackup™ Web UI Administrator's Guide.

You can use storage unit properties to control your backup traffic.

See Configure a favorable client-to-server ratio.
