Replicating Data to a RDS Container using NetVault Backup

By using NetVault Backup with the DR Series system, you can run optimized replication jobs. You can replicate data in backup RDS containers on one DR Series system to a target RDS container that is on a different DR Series system. Both the source and target RDS containers must be added to the NetVault Backup server as RDA devices. You can complete optimized replication (or optimized duplication) of backups that you complete using NetVault Backup.
  • NOTE: You cannot replicate RDS containers using the DR Series system native replication feature.
  • NOTE: The source or backup container and the target container must use the RDS protocol.
To replicate the data available on the backup RDS container to a target RDS container:
  1. In the NetVault Backup Console, click Backup. The NetVault Backup window is displayed.
  2. From the Server Location list, select the relevant NetVault Backup server.
  3. In Job Title, enter a relevant job title.
  4. In the Selections tab, select Data Copy and then Backups or Backup Sets, and navigate to the backup job that you want to replicate.
  5. Select the Backup Options tab, under Data Copy Options select the relevant options.
    • NOTE: Under Copy Type, by default, options are set for Copy and Optimized replication for the DR Series systems.
  6. Select the Schedule tab, under Schedule Options select one of the following:
    • Immediate — To start the backup operation as soon as you save the current backup job.
    • Once — To run the backup only once at a scheduled time and date.
    • Repeating — To run the backup at a scheduled time and date on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
    • Triggered — To run the backup if the system encounters a pre-specified Trigger name.
  7. Under Job Options select the relevant options.
  8. Select the Source tab, under Device Options select, Specify Device. The RDS devices added to NetVault Backup are displayed.
  9. Select the relevant source RDS device from the list of displayed devices. You can select more than one device.
  10. Select the Target tab, under Device Options select, Specify Device. The RDS devices added to NetVault Backup are displayed.
  11. Select the relevant target RDS device from the list of displayed devices. You can select more than one device.
  12. Under Media Options and General Options, select the relevant option.
  13. Select the Advanced Options tab and select the relevant options.
  14. To run the optimized replication job, click the Submit icon.
