Backup copies movement and retention
We are using Data Domain as backup destination for servers in a bunch of server groups.
When we run a second backup copy of the same bunch, we want first copy to be moved to another location within the same Data Domain,
as our backup tool can't overwrite the existing backup with the same name.
So, we want the previous copy to be moved to another location within the same Data Domain. That way we want to retain all the previous copies. How this can be accomplished in Data Domain. Snapshot/FastCopy ?. And, how the copy part on the DD can be scripted.
Have anyone done this. Is there any similar use case available with anyone. Please advise.
Thanks

The best option would be to use fastcopy
filesys fastcopy [retention-lock] source destination
Fastcopy from source to destination
However, this is not easy to automate via scripting.
Hope it helps,
