Overview

Overview

A source copy is a storage policy copy from which data is read and copied to produce a secondary copy during auxiliary copy operations. If the source copy of the auxiliary copy is a synchronous copy, the new copy can be a selective or synchronous copy. However, if the source copy of the auxiliary copy is a selective copy, the new copy must be a selective copy also.

Auxiliary Copy

When an auxiliary copy operation is started, all valid data from a source copy is copied to all or one active secondary copies within the storage policy. A source copy can either be the primary copy (the default), or a secondary copy that has been selected as the source copy.

Data Aging

When a secondary copy is selected as a source copy, data from this secondary copy will not be aged until all data protection operations have been copied.

This feature can be enabled from the Copy Policy tab of the Copy Properties dialog box.
