Duplicate PDDO images to MSDP

We can Duplicate images from MSDP to PDDO but i can't find a way to do vice-vesa i.e. PDDO-MSDP

 

Is it possible with NetBackup 7.1 and PD 6.6.x in same domain.???

  • Unfortunately duplication from Puredisk to MSDP is not possible.  Well not yet...

     

    Vote for Todd Woodward's idea here and perhaps one day - maybe...

  • We took a strategic decision when we developed this feature that we would not allow duplication from PDDO to MSDP and we currently have no plans to implement this capability. 

  • By now we all know that optimized duplication does not work/not supported from a PDDO to a MSDP. But what if we could disable the optimizated duplication, as would automatically happen when sending to a BasicDisk or tape drive?

    We do have RESUME_ORIG_DUP_ON_OPT_DUP_FAIL flag; could it possibly be used in scenarios where optimized duplication is secondary a concern, such as moving the data off from a PDDO to a MSDP in order to decomission the PDDO? Or would we still need to stage on a BasicDisk or tape?
