A storage policy copy provides the means to make additional copies of the data. Copies can be created by performing an auxiliary copy operation. The primary copy is automatically created by the system when a storage policy is created. All backup operations that use a given storage policy use the primary copy. The primary copy carries all data that is directed to its parent storage policy. You can configure secondary copies of the data directed to a storage policy. The following section explains various command line options available for configuring secondary copies of the data.
