Creating a second copy on cloud library


Forum|alt.badge.img+1

Hi

We have primary backups directed to an Azure cloud library - in a storage pool accessed by 2 media agents with deduplication enabled.  I would like to know if its possible to create a second Azure cloud library for copies with deduplication enabled, using the same 2 media agents.  Any recommendations on config appreciated,

Thanks

Of course, it can be done. New storage pool has to be created, preferably using different volumes /mount points for DDBs, so they do not compete for IOPS/space.

Thanks, so for instance would we configure it as follows:-(Azure Blob storage)

Storage pool - Cloud Library 1 Region 1 - 2 DDB partitions on MA1 and MA2

Storage pool - Cloud Library 2 Region 1 - 2 DDB partitions on MA1 and MA2,

2 DDB partition mount points on both MA1 and MA2

I’m hoping then to avoid inter-region transport costs if the primary and secondary copies are both hosted in the same region.  We also have Geo redundancy setup in the event of a region failure,  Is that the best way to do it?

Thanks

Colin
