Configuring a Dedicated Offsite Copy task
You can assign a computer the task of copying recovery point sets from a recovery point destination to a dedicated Offsite Copy location. Configuring such a task is very efficient and powerful. Unlike specifying an Offsite Copy destination within a backup policy that may go to many computers, you use the system resources of one dedicated computer. That one dedicated computer processes an entire Offsite Copy task.
See About Offsite Copy.
See About managing recovery point destinations.
To configure a Dedicated Offsite Copy task
- On the Veritas System Recovery 21 Management Solution Monitor Tasks tab, right-click Veritas System Recovery Tasks, and then click New > Task.
- In the Client Tasks tree, click Veritas System Recovery Tasks > Dedicated Offsite Copy.
- On the Create New Task page, in the right pane, type a name for the task.
- Select the computer that you want to dedicate to the Offsite Copy task.
- Do one of the following:
Click Copy all recovery point sets.
Select Copy recovery point sets created by this computer, and then select the computer that you want from the drop-down list.
Select Copy recovery point sets that have recovery points created in the last, and then specify the number of days in the text field.
Click Specific recovery point sets, and then select a recovery point set based on the date it was created.
- Do one of the following:
To use an existing destination
In the Offsite Destination drop-down list, select the destination where you want the recover point sets to be copied.
To create a new destination
Select Create new destination, and then specify a local folder path, a UNC path to a network share, or OpenStorage destination.
If you typed a UNC path or OpenStorage destination, you must specify the necessary user name and password credentials.
Click Add Destination.
- Click OK.
- In the Task Status field for your dedicated Offsite Copy task, do one of the following:
To run the task as soon as possible
Click New Schedule.
Click Now or click Schedule at the bottom of the panel to run the task as soon as possible.
To schedule a time to run the task
Click New Schedule.
Click Schedule. Specify the date and time to run the task. Click Schedule at the bottom of the panel.
