We are moving to a Disk to Disk to Tape strategy and I have a bit of a conundrum.
Naturally, the backup to disk jobs can have duplicate jobs attached immediately following the jobs to tape. But how do I automate the additional copy from disk to tape that I need for offsite storage.
I cannot automate more than one duplicate job. I cannot automate a duplicate job of a duplicate job.
I am now just making a copy of the B2D folder to tape for offsite storage, but in the event of a disaster, I would have to restore the tape to another B2D folder, catalog the restored B2D files, then restore. This extra step would take too much time for recovery.
How can I automate that second copy? Policies?
