Creating a schedule for a BasicDisk staging storage unit

When you configure a BasicDisk storage unit with disk staging, data is stored on the initial storage unit (disk staging storage unit). Then, per a configurable relocation schedule, data is copied to the final location. Having the images on the final destination storage unit frees the space on the disk staging storage unit as needed.

To create a schedule for a BasicDisk staging storage unit

  1. Open the NetBackup web UI.
  2. On the left, click Storage > Storage units. Then click on the BasicDisk storage unit to which you want to add a schedule.
  3. To the right of Staging schedule, click Edit.
  4. Select Enable a temporary staging area.

    The schedule name defaults to the storage unit name.

  5. Configure the setting Priority of relocation job started from this schedule. This setting controls the priority that relocation jobs have compared to other types of jobs.

  6. Select whether to create multiple copies. When the Multiple copies attribute is selected, NetBackup can create up to four copies of a backup simultaneously.

  7. Select a Final destination storage unit to contain the images from this storage unit upon relocation.
  8. Select a Final destination volume pool to contain the images from this storage unit upon relocation.
  9. Select a Final destination media ownership setting that controls the media owner that owns the images from this storage unit upon relocation.
  10. Choose the Schedule type.
  11. Select whether to Use alternate read server for the images from this storage unit upon relocation.
  12. Click Save to save the disk staging schedule.
