Clone a jobid backup to new media

Question

Hi all,I'm running Netbackup 7.7.3 on Solaris and I need to clone a single backup, as given by a jobid, to new media with a much longer retention.&nbsp; The current backup is on disk and will only stick around for two weeks.&nbsp; So how can I copy/clone/vault the data backed up by a specific job, to new media?&nbsp;I've got the jobid, got the policy it's associated with, even have the MediaID that it's been written too.&nbsp; I just don't know the process for getting it all copied to new media.&nbsp;Thanks,John&nbsp;

HiYou need to know the backup id you want to duplicate....You can do it via CLI (bpduplicate commnad) or via JAVA GUI - catalog pane, duplicate ;)Your best friends are NBU commands reference guide and NBU admin guide I ;) which can be found here&nbsp;https://sort.veritas.com/documents?prod=nbuwhole documentation and these two in particular:https://sort.veritas.com/DocPortal/pdf/ka6j00000004FcLAAUhttps://sort.veritas.com/DocPortal/pdf/ka6j0000000LA2KAAWgood luck

You duplicate via backupid not jobid, so you will need the backupid.

Example;

bpduplicate -dstunit gpk630r2f-19-hcart2-robot-tld-1 -dp NetBackup -backupid gpk630r2f-18_1538943996 -rl 8

dstunit is the destination storage unit (use bpstulist to list available)

dp is the destination volume pool to use (not needed if you duplicate to disk)

-rl is the retention level to use (bpretlevel will list available retention levels)
