Auxiliary Copy - Support

Auxiliary Copy

Auxiliary Copy can be performed between any two MediaAgents, regardless of their Operating System.

Auxiliary Copy operations are not supported for a BlueArc OS 4.1 NAS Client (or previous versions) if the data was backed up to a drive pool attached to the NAS client.

Multi-stream backups of the Microsoft SQL, DB2, DB2 DPF and Sybase agents will be copied during an auxiliary copy operation to a copy that combines streams; however, restore operations may have limitations. See Browse and Restore for more information.

In order to restore SQL, DB2, DB2 DPF and Sybase agent backups from combined streams of Storage Policy copies, a new Storage Policy copy to disk library must be created and an auxiliary copy should be executed. A restore must be performed from this new copy.

Auxiliary Copy Encryption

Auxiliary copy encryption is not supported for NetWare MediaAgents. If you wish to encrypt NetWare data with auxiliary copy encryption, you must use a Windows or Unix-based MediaAgent.
Auxiliary copy encryption is supported for NDMP Remote Server data; however, it is not supported for NAS File Server data.
If the CommServe and MediaAgent have been upgraded to the current release level but the client has not, any restored secondary copy data that was encrypted during an auxiliary copy operation will not be supported until the client is upgraded to the current release level.
