Backup to disk, duplicate to disk then duplicate to tape
Hi there,
Using BUE2014 I'd like to create a job that backs data to a deduplication disk store on server A and then duplicate to another dedupe store on server B automaitcally, eg, when the backup job finishes. This I'm fine with. My query is with the next step as what I'm wanting to do is than add a third stage that copies the full backups to tape (again automatically) after the dedupe to dedupe storage stage has ran - only I'd like the source of the data to be server A and not server B. The reason is that server B is off site whereas the tape library is connected to server A - hence I'll end up pulling more data across my WAN links.
If I opt to backup to tape before duplicating the data to server B I'm presuming the source for the dedupe to server B will be the tape?
Aside from creating a static scheduled job, I cannot see a way of doing this. Does anyone have any ideas?
Source VM --> backup to Server A (site A) -> duplicate to Server B (site B) -> backup the full backup from Server A to tape (Site A)
Thanks in advance :-)

You should be able to add two duplicate stages to the full backup stage such that the full backup is the source for both duplicates.
