Hi ​@MarkG  

 

The copy type is defined during the creation of a storage policy copy (e.g., when you add a copy and select "Synchronous", "Selective", or "Snap Copy").

 

Primary  -  Main backup copy
Synchronous -  All jobs mirrored from primary
Selective - Specific jobs based on criteria
Snap Primary - Snapshot-based primary copy
Snap Copy - Secondary snapshot copy (Vault/Replica/Mirror

If you have further queries, Could you please elaborate?
