Afternoon all
I have a few questions - hopefully nothing too complicated!
I have recently configured a tape library in our Commvault environment which appears to be working OK - I just had a few questions around configuring the tape library to suite our needs.
The plan is to backup to tapes so they can be take offsite daily and used in a DR scenario. We would like to keep 3 weeks worth of data on the tapes and would like to have a tape for each day.
I’ve configured the auxiliary copy job and the related schedules to backup at a suitable time which I think so far is fine however where I appear to be struggling is with configuring Commvault to backup to a new tape each day.
We will have 21 tapes and as an example tape 001 will be week 1 Monday, tape 002 will be week 1 Tuesday etc - tape 007, 008 and 009 will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday respectively.
There will be x2 SP’s that will be backing up to tape - my question is, is it possible to configure CV so that one the backup job from SP2 is completed it will flag that tape as non-writable (only after both SPs have successfully backed up to tape?)
Secondly, is it possible to “trigger” a auxiliary copy once another auxiliary job is finished? As an example …. Aux 1 job runs and completes which then triggers aux 2 job to run (and if possible mark the media as full, ties in with the above question)
Many thanks in advance!
