About Auto Image Replication for PaaS workloads

NetBackup supports Auto Image Replication (AIR) to a target LSU hosted locally or in the cloud. The LSU must have a standard or archive storage class or tier on the target domain with a one-to-one AIR model.

Currently the Amazon Redshift workloads are not supported for AIR.

You can configure AIR using a protection plan. While adding a schedule to a protection plan, select the Replicate this backup option. If AIR is enabled for a schedule in the protection plan, it is recommended to enable it for all schedules in that protection plan.

Note:

For archive tier storage class LSU, only full backup schedule is supported.

You can also configure AIR using policy by selecting Storage Lifecycle Policy as the storage.
