A source copy is a storage policy copy from which data is read and copied to secondary copy during auxiliary copy operations. By default, the source copy to all synchronous copies is a primary copy.
Before specifying the source copy, make sure that both the storage policy copies have same CommCell entities (clients, agents, subclients and so on) associated, or this copy has a fewer CommCell entities associated than the source copy.
Applies to: Synchronous Copy, Selective Copy, Parallel Copy, Deferred Copy, Spool Copy, and WORM Copy
Important
You cannot use a selective copy as the source for a synchronous copy.
