    In short,

    AdvancedDisk

    • You can extend its capacity by adding disk volumes into disk pool.
    • It works with Storage Lifecycle Policy(SLP). SLP is more flexible than BasicDisk staging.

    BasicDisk

    • You can not extend its capacity by NetBackup operation.
      You need to extend filesystems to get more.
    • It can not work with SLP. BasicDisk staging is only option.

Thanks for your answers.

 

Now I know - we work only with SLP - so we need advanced disks ans no basic disks.

 

Kind regards
