Hi,
I need to move some servers data from Old Data domain to New Data domain using Netbackup and use new data domain as target storage for the server .Our Old Data Domain is configured as both VTL and DD boost Disk library. I need to keep the retention of old images backedup as same in old DD.Do i need use replcation in Storage life cycle policy or Duplication from old storage policy to new or just select all media and duplicate the images.I cant use Data Domain replication as i am going to use new data domain for backup after the movement.Please suggest.

we are migrating File server which are of 7yrs retention.Its difficult to migrate all backup images manually.any idea to do it fast and easy?? Also Once i move the data to new Data Domain ,whether it will be a Deduplicated data as in Old Data Domain or Rehydrated data ??Can i just create storage policy ,Disk pool and volume pool for New DD and dulpicate the images manually and change the storage policy for clients??

I have done this on my unix system, if you are on windows, it is much more difficult.
Essentually you need to run these commands:
list images
for each image, issue a duplcaition command from old to new storage - keeping or resetting retention/volume pool.
VERIFY image arrives
expire old image
BUT
If you are using specific policies you can use just the duplicate command, changing the time frames
bpduplicate -p -cn 1 -policy YOURPOLICY -client CLIENTNAME -hoursago 16 -dstunit DESTINATION -dp POOL -rl RETENTION -set_primary 1 -owner OWNER
