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 set...

    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.
