And remember – when you duplicate images the retention period starts from the beginning
e.g. a retention period of 1 year starting in may is duplicated in august will only expire in august the following year so if you are scripting the work you may want to check the image retention and modify it when duplicating the image If I remember correctly NetBackup wont allow you to duplicate the image between media servers – this ensures the traffic is localises to the systems SCSI busses as popped the NW. ________________________________ From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of rusty.ma...@sungard.com Sent: 23 September 2010 18:22 To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Cc: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu; veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] need help with mass tape copy If you have all the tapes in the library, or at least all the tapes that the images span, then yes, NBU will work it all out for you.
