Inline Copy/Dup

Where it says... if this copy fails.. either “continue” or “fail all copies”

Does that mean if I had 5 jobs and choose fail all copies would that mean it would fail all 5 jobs within that policy/schedule or just the 1 job that failed killing the primary and secondary job.

We have had failures occurring due to media errors and have used "continue" leaving us with either aprimary copy or the secondary copy.

I know we could use Vault then to make a duplicate but it's so slow with our config it'll be better to restart the job for that particular client.

HI,
Duplication :
OPtion Selected : “continue”
Suppose you are having 5 backups and u are duplicating them
and while the 4 backups have been successfully duplicated and the 5 the backup images duplicatrion fails the job is still completed and said to be partially completed retaining the 4 copies.

OPtion Selected : “fail all copies”
If 5th copy fails then all the previous 4 copies also are considered to be failed and the backup status will show as FAIL.
This option is waste of time if you believe that the backup images are not interconnected.

Tim,
What are you referring to as a job?
a client? or a stream?

Suppose you have 1 client and it has 5 streams
system_state
C:\
D:\
E:\
F:\

Each job (image) stands alone.
If you are making two inline copies with all fail
C:\ (primary copy) - C:\ (copy 1) - C:\ (copy2)
If any one fails then ALL fail (primary,copy1,copy2)

with continue
if copy1 fails then the others continue (primary,copy2)

The other jobs (images) don't care what happened to any of the C:\ images

so
system_state, D:\, E:\, F:\ will all have their respective primary copy and copy 1 and copy2 regardless if the nackup of the C:\ was ALL successfull, ALL failed, or if the primary and only copy2 suceeded.Message was edited by:
