Spool copy can be enabled on a copy.
Applies To
Synchronous Copy, Selective Copy, Inline Copy, Parallel Copy, Snapshot Copy and WORM Copy.
Before You Begin
Consider the following before enabling a spool copy:
-
A primary copy or secondary copy can be defined as a spool copy only when there is an active synchronous copy for the storage policy.
-
Spool Copy feature is not supported on storage policy copies enabled with Deduplication or Silo Storage.
-
The DDB backup jobs ignore the spool copy retention rules, and follows the DDB backup pruning. See DDB Backup Pruning Process for more information.
-
For NAS data backed up using IntelliSnap backup:
-
One snapshot is retained when the primary snap copy is configured with spool retention.
-
For NetApp and Isilon NDMP agents.
-
For NetApp, Isilon and Huawei FS under NAS agents.
-
-
Other agents have the retention rule set to 0 days and 0 cycles.
-
Note
Deduplication enabled storage policy copies cannot be configured as spool copies.
Procedure
-
Before enabling spool copy option on a storage policy copy, ensure that the storage policy copy is assigned as a source to another active synchronous copy.
See Specify the Source for the Copy for instructions.
-
From the CommCell Browser, go to Policies > Storage Policies ><Storage Policy>.
-
Right-click the storage policy copy that was assigned as a source, and click Properties.
-
In the Copy Properties dialog box, click the Retention tab, click Spool Copy (No Retention), and then click OK.
A message appears that tells you that enabling spool copy will age data as soon as the Auxiliary Copy job is run.
