Copy Properties - General

Use this dialog box to view or change the properties of a storage policy copy.

Copy Information

Allows you to select the properties of the copy.

  • Copy Name

    The name of the copy.

  • Primary Copy

    If selected, identifies this as the Primary copy for the storage policy. If cleared, this copy is a secondary copy.

  • Enable Deduplication

    If selected, only one copy of a file is physically stored in the library and reference counts for subsequent copies of the file (found in subsequent data protection or auxiliary copy operations using this copy) is maintained. The reference counts are stored in a Deduplication Database which can be configured using the Deduplication tab of the Copy Properties dialog box.

    Note

    Deduplication can be enabled:

    • Only during storage policy copy creation.

    • For storage policy copies associated with a disk library.

  • WORM Storage Lock

    If selected, the system creates files in WORM mode with an appropriate WORM lock expiry time based on storage policy retention.

    • Retain for [] Days: Enter the number of days to retain the data.

    • Create new DDB every [] Days: Displays the number of days after which a new DDB is created.

    • WORM Lock: Displays the number of days for the WORM lock.

  • Compliance Lock

    If selected, compliance lock is enabled on the storage copy.

  • Calendar for Selective Copy and Extended Retention

    The calendar that will be used to calculate the time intervals by which data is copied during auxiliary copy operations and aged by extended retention rules during data aging operations. This option is available only if a custom calendar was created.

Default Destination

  • Library

    The name of the preferred library to which backup data from this copy is directed.

  • MediaAgent

    The MediaAgent defined for the destination library.

  • Drive Pool

    (Removable Media Library only)

    The drive pool name of the specified Library to which backup data for the Primary Copy is directed. (This information only applies if the specified Library is a removable media library.)

    Within a NAS storage policy, if the primary copy is using a NAS-attached drive pool, then any secondary copies within that storage policy can use either a NAS-attached drive pool, or a MediaAgent-attached library. However, all storage policy copies using NAS-attached drive pools, must always read from a storage policy copy using NAS-attached drive pools.
