Re: [Veritas-bu] Disk Staging to tape

[Todd Jackxon]

Thanks Rusty

The need is actually a requirement created by the business, not my personal
decision.

We are actually licensed for Advanced Disk to set this up however needed.
So if the best approach is SLP we are totally licensed (Capacity Licensing).
Which manual is it that addresses using cron?

Thanks

-Jack

Re: [Veritas-bu] Policies not populating after the upgrade from 6.5.3 to 7.0.

[Saran Brar]

Thanks for the reply but java is already upgraded to 7.0.1. One thing i noticed 
that if we open and close java console a few times, policies do populate.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Disk Staging to tape

[Rusty.Major]

If that's what you want to do, then Nic's suggestion is the best for you. 
It's also probably the cheapest as SLP requires Advanced Disk and 
associated licensing.

However, if you want to use SLP in that manner, then you will have to 
utilize cron to disable and enable SLP for the times you want it to run. 
It is specifically designed to get the duplications completed as soon as 
it can and therefore does not (currently) have a window like classic 
DSSUs. Using cron is actually mentioned in the manual or best practice 
guide so it is a recognized workaround.

I'm curious what your need is to schedule it to tape on certain days?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Disk Staging to tape






Oh, yeah, sorry.
 
In brief:
-Create a basic DSSU.
-Backup policies as per normal (i.e. daily jobs, after hours, whatever you 
do), pointed at your newly created DSSU as the destination storage unit.
-DSSU configured with a schedule (either using the GUI, or bpschedule – 
which works similar to bpplsched, but is just for DSSUs); the schedule in 
the DSSU specifies your destination storage unit / volume etc (which is 
how you get it to tape), and this is where you specify the 2 days you want 
it to go to tape.
 
If you want anymore info on it, let me know.

Hi Nic
 
Thanks for the follow up. Can you briefly decribe how you would set this

I'm trying to understand the how both , disk and tape, policies would 
combine.
 
It doesn't need to use an SLP - whichever works best
 
Thanks again

Hello

I am working on a plan to backup clients to disk and later stage these off 
to tape.
Can anyone elaborate how this is being done from your end?

Basic Idea:

Backups occur daily to disk and the business would like to stage these to 
tape twice a week.

Creating a Life Cycle policy I can run a backup job and a duplication job 
to tape but there is no
way to schedule this to tape on certain days. Just the ability to run a 
duplication job.

Within a normal policy you can run an inline copy to run concurrently (up 
to 4 storage units) but this
appears to be backups running at the same time.

How can I combine these methods (or use another method) to run my life 
cycle policy backup and then
stage these to tape on a Tuesday and Thursday? Any information would be 
appreciated.

Thanks

Jack
