# Copying the Snapshot Metadata for the Fujitsu ETERNUS AF / DX Storage Array

An automatic auxiliary copy operation runs after the snapshot backup operation to copy the snapshot metadata to the replica copy. By default, the automatic auxiliary copy runs 90 minutes after the snapshot backup operation.

If you need to browse the snapshot content of the replica copy before the automatic auxiliary copy operation runs, you must manually run the auxiliary copy operation.

## Procedure

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > Plans.

   The Plans page appears.

2. In the Plan name column, select the plan to run an auxiliary copy for.

   The Overview page of the sbackup plan appears.

3. In the Storage policies tab, in the Copies area, click Run auxiliary Copy.

   The Run auxiliary Copy dialog box appears.

4. In the Run auxiliary Copy dialog box, do one of the following:

   - To run auxiliary copy for all the snapshot copies, select All copies.

   - To run auxiliary copy for a specific snapshot copy, select Select a copy, and then from the Select a copy list, select the vault/replica or mirror copy.
