Auxiliary Copy Options

Use this dialog box to select the criteria to perform an auxiliary copy operation.

Select a Storage Policy

Allows you to select the storage policy from which you will run an auxiliary copy operation. (Applicable for the CommServe level only. This field will not display storage policies that do not have secondary copies configured.)

Select Source MediaAgent

Allows you to select the source MediaAgent from which you will run the auxiliary copy. (Applicable for copies that are configured with a shared library only.)

Copy Selection

• All Copies

  If selected, data from the source copy will be copied to all active secondary copies. If cleared, the Select a Copy field is enabled and you must select an secondary copy from the drop down list of active secondary copies.

• Select a Copy

  If selected, data from the source copy is copied to the secondary copy you select from the drop down list of active secondary copies. If cleared, the All Copies field is enabled, and data is copied from the source copy to all active secondary copies.

Number of Readers

Allows you to select the data streams that are copied at the same time during the auxiliary copy operation.

• Number of Streams

  Allows you to select the number of data streams that are copied at the same time during the auxiliary copy operation.

• Allow Maximum

  If selected, the maximum number of data streams will be copied at the same time during the auxiliary copy operation.

Start new media

• If removable media (tape or optical) is being used on a secondary copy, the current active media is marked as full and a new media is used for the auxiliary copy.
• If magnetic media is used, a new volume folder is created for the auxiliary copy.

Mark media full after successful operation

If selected, the media used for the auxiliary copy operation is marked full after the operation is successfully completed.

Select most recent full backup when auxiliary copy starts

If selected, the most recent successful full backup for each subclient will be copied when an Auxiliary Copy job is run. If not selected, only the previously selected full backup job will be copied when the Auxiliary Copy job is run.

Job should wait for all parallel copy resources

If selected, the auxiliary copy operation will not start for parallel copies until all resources (MediaAgents and libraries) for the parallel copy are available.
