Migrating backup from old hyperscale to hyperscale x - appaware backup snap copy

Hello ​@Ajal 

These are the steps: 

1- Make sure your backup copy is up to date and nothing pending

2- Disable schedule
3- Promote copy to primary 

4- Update Mount path from old MA’s to new MA’s

5- Validate Backup copy properties is pointing to the new path and MA. 

6- Validate Datapath in snap copy is pointing to the new location

7- Turn it back on. 

Kind regards

​@Albert Williams  hi albert , i have no confusion in terms of promoting the primary copy , my question is about storage policeis with snap copies , how to manage them ,? 

just changing the mount path manually for those policy

Hello ​@Ajal 

Thanks for the response. You can manage all this configuration with the Datapath in the library configuration and the Snap copy in the storage policy. 

I believe most of the SP settings will auto update to the new paths set when you change the libraries data paths but its always good to double check. 

Kind regards

​@Albert Williams  we dont do datapath update in the library

these are hyperscale 1.5 to hyperscale x , 

so we initialize hyperscale x stroage pool , create storage policy aux copy under each sP and run the aux copy job , once it is fully synced we make them as primary copy 

my question is for snap copy , i can see some jobs in the snap copy , do we need to copy this ? or just change the mount path to new hyperscale x ? will it affect any restore in future , 

the snap copy was created as part of the app aware backup
