Duplicate a B2D backup on LTO after several weeks

Hello,

I try to make a powershell script but I don't find any command to list the media set of disk storage ? I want to duplicate the media set on disk after several weeks to make some place on the disks and put them on LTO media like a cold storage. The console doesn't seem to offer this functionnality like powershell. I'm on BE 21.2

Is someone have an idea ?

Regards

  • I believe what you want to do is achievable within the Backup Exec GUI.
    Go to the "Storage tab" and then select "Backup Sets" on the left hand side.
    Select the Backup Set you want to duplicate; right click and select "Duplicate" - see screenshot attached
    A new window / wizard will pop up which lets you configure the target device and other things and then you can run this duplicate job.

      Thanks for your response.

      I know this way but it's not an automatic job. I want to duplicate automatically to LTO with a delay of several weeks.

        If you want this automated with a delay of several weeks then yes this is not possible within the GUI.
        However if you want to have it automated duplicated, why only after several weeks and not immediately or the next day?
        That way you would have your data duplicated sooner and therefore the data on two location then just on one for several weeks.
