Backing up and restoring multiple generations by locking a
copy group
You can manage backups of multiple generations by using multiple copy groups for each backup
purpose.
In Application Agent, backup is usually performed to an automatically determined copy group, but
you can also use the
drmcgctl command to lock the contents of a particular copy group, and
continue backup using other copy groups only.
The following kinds of operation become possible when generation management is performed by
locking particular copy groups:
• After a monthly backup is obtained for a volume, the copy group is locked, and daily backups
are obtained for the remaining two volumes.
This allows you to keep the monthly backup until the copy group is unlocked.
