Incorporating archive to tape into a rotation strategy
Two methods are provided for archive a cartridge to the directly attached tape device, these are Copy
and Export.
•
Copy retains the data cartridge on the HP D2D system and creates an exact copy onto a physical
cartridge in the attached tape drive.
•
Export removes the data cartridge from the autoloader on the D2D once data has been
successfully copied to the physical cartridge in the attached tape drive.
Each method has advantages and disadvantages, as described in more detail in
” on page 84. Refer also to the white papers on
httP://www.hp.com/support
for
examples of using these functions with specific backup applications.
This example shows how to incorporate copy to a tape drive connected to the HP D2D Backup System
into a tape rotation strategy.
•
On Friday: carry out a full backup to one cartridge to capture the week’s work and keep that
cartridge for four weeks before overwriting. Assuming a separate cartridge for each week’s full
backup, four autoloader slots are required.
