Using bpduplicate to create copy 2 with shorter retention time than primary copy
Hi,
Our primary backups are stored in Puredisk on their local datacentre. We have a scheduled bpduplicate job that runs each night to create an offsite Copy 2 for each backup image in a Puredisk ...
- Hi Twinkle and thanks for the suggestion - the -cn switch didn't work as you thought it might though. Running the command that way seemed to look for a copy 2 to duplicate - it gave the output:
02:00:06 INF - Skipping copy 1 of backup id r0107g_1243371686, is not required copy 2.
I've worked around this by allowing the bpduplicate command to run without any change to the retention period, and then using bepexpdate to recalculate the copy 2 retentions:
-recalculate -copy 2 -policy DC1-AD -ret 0 -force
