Replicated Servers from Offsite Media Servers added to Vault
Hello all,
We run a monthly back up to tape from our Master Server using Vault Management. We also have a handful of offsite media servers with no tape robots that simply go to disk. I have setup replication from these media servers to our main Master server with our robot. My question is how do I get these replicated images cut to tape using Vault with our monthly process? Is it possible? It seems Vault is policy based and since these are replicated images from their Media Servers and not pulled in through a specific policy from the Master server I am unsure if this is possible.
Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Environment:
Netbackup 7.5.0.6 Master/Media Servers on Linux RHEL6 and a mix of Windows (2003/2008) and Linux machines.
in your SLP you probably might have set the Volume pool for duplication job .. for offisite media server to MAINMASTER1
and the same volume pool needs provide in the Vault profile , eject tab.
vault does not bother if the images is replicatcated or not.. it only look for the images and tapes that you have seted in vault profile.
lets take small example:-
assume below
-> client name :-FileServer1
-->backup to remote media server
->duplicatiting to MAINMASTER1 and volume pool Offsite with SLP.
->have created a vault profile to eject the tapes form offsite volume pool for client FileServer1 between 7 days to 0 days.
now when you run the Vault job.. it will look for the client images which are being backup betwen 7 days to 0 days.. and see if those images are also there in tapes of offisite Volume pool. if yes it will eject those tapes.
as you setup offsite Volume pool only for duplication imges it will get ejected.
----------
vault does not bother if that is the primary copy or replicated copy , it just try to match the images and tape to the critiria that is setup in profile and if that met it will eject those..
so that is the reason.. we need to have seperate volume pool of the images that needs to eject (like offsite) and another pool for images says in library(says onsite)
let me know if i am not clear or if you are looking for someting els.
