HP Data Protector software interaction with deduplication enabled replication

You can copy objects to media of a different type. Furthermore, the block size of the destination

device can be the same or larger than the block size of the source device.

• Media policy

You can append data to media already containing backups or object copies.

• Protection policy

You can set the protection periods of the object copies.

Automated object copying (replicated cartridges)

In an automated object copy specification, you can specify one or more criteria for the selection

of object versions that will be copied:

• Backup specifications - to copy only object versions backed up using specific backup

specifications.

• Data protection - to copy only protected object versions.

• Number of existing copies - to copy only object versions that do not have more than the

specified number of successful copies.

• Libraries - to copy only object versions located on the media in the specified libraries.

• Time frame (only in a scheduled object copy specification) - to copy only object versions backed

up in the specified period of time.

Configuring Scheduled Object Copying

1. In the Context List, click Object Operations.

2. In the Scoping Pane, expand Copy, and then Object copy, and then Automated.

3. Right-click Scheduled and click Add to open the wizard.

4. Select the backup that contain the objects you want to copy.

Note: You must select “All Specifications” in the backup specifications tab as a filter

prerequisite. Imported cartridges will not provide a list of backup specifications you could

select from as this information is not part of the information stored on the backup media.
