Duplication Job running immediately after disk backup
We have a Lifecycle policy for exchange backup, once backup to disk is completed duplication job is starting.
We want the duplication job to start after 2 weeks.
Please find the parameters of duplication job
Retention Type Fixed
Retention Period two weeks
Should we need to change please suggest me.
Disable the SLP and then enable it when the disk I/O is less.
I agree with Riaan, you can schedule a task in Windows on the server to disbale (inactive, in SLP terms) the SLPs before your nightly processing starts, and then schedule another task to enable (active) them after, say, 8:00am the next day.
Inactivating/disabling the SLP does NOT affect the backup jobs' start times in any way, it only affects the subsequent duplication jobs that are currently running immediately after the backups.
The command is "nbstlutil inactive -lifecycle name". You will need to run this for every SLP you want to inactivate. If you have fewer destination storage units, it might be easier to set each of the destinations as inactive: "nbstlutil inactive -destination name".
