About writing multiple copies using a storage lifecycle policy
A storage lifecycle policy can be used to create multiple copies of backups and snapshots.
NetBackup permits only one method to create multiple copies to be in use at one time. Use only one of the following methods:
Enable the option in a policy configuration.
If a policy has the option enabled, the policy cannot select a storage lifecycle policy as the Policy storage.
Add multiple Backup operations or one or more or Replication operations to the operations list of the SLP.
See SLP settings.
The same criteria for creating copies applies to both methods.
The following topics are considerations when storage lifecycle policies are used to create multiple copies.
