Configure an Inline copy to create additional copies of data at the time of backup. An auxiliary copy operation is not required to replicate the data from the primary copy to synchronous copy. An Inline copy utilizes the media drives efficiently and reduces the delay in the off-site storage of the data.
Notes
-
The MediaAgent for an inline copy must be the same as the MediaAgent for the primary copy.
-
The deduplication on an Inline copy is not supported if multiplexing is enabled on the primary copy.
-
Inline copy is not supported for source-side deduplicated storage policy copies.
-
Inline copy is not supported, when
- primary copy is deduplicated and inline copy is not deduplicated.
- primary copy is non deduplicated and inline copy is deduplicated.

Synchronous Copy, Selective Copy, Parallel Copy, Deferred Copy, Spool Copy, and WORM Copy
