Configuration of the Backup Destination for Disaster Recovery (DR) Backups

Disaster Recovery (DR) Backups are executed using the following phases:

• Export

  For more information on configuring the export destinations, see Configuration of the Export Destination for Disaster Recovery (DR) Backups.

• Backup

  During the backup phase, the metadata available in the staging directory in the CommServe, along with the configured log files, are backed up using the DR storage policy as follows:

  • A default DR storage policy (CommServeDR) is automatically created when the first library is configured in the CommCell.

    By default, the primary copy of the DR storage policy is created as a WORM copy to prevents accidental deletion of data that is not qualified for aging.

  • A secondary copy for the DR backup data is automatically created when you configure the first tape library. An Auxiliary Copy schedule which runs every 15 minutes is automatically created. If necessary, you can change the frequency of this Auxiliary Copy operation.
