Duplication and Migration

During migration, backed up data is moved from one media pool (disk) to another media pool (tape or disk). Typically data is backed up to disk (faster) and is then migrated to tape. The previously backed up data are stored in backup savesets. These savesets are transferred 1:1 from the source mediapool (disk) to the target mediapool (tape). This allows the completion of the D2D2T migration.

If you leave the media in both the source and target mediapools the saveset is duplicated. Deleting the savesets from the source mediapool (disk) defines the data as migrated. Data can be restored from either source using the SEP Restore Wizard. If only the migrated saveset still exists this will be used should a restore take place.

Migration-events are managed in a seperate menu item. This means that a configured migration-task can be started as an immediate event from the GUI. In the new migration dialog the source and the target have to be defined. Furthermore, a variety of filtering options is available. By task, taskgroup or backed up client to name only a few. It is now also possible to migrate backups of a particular medium to another pool.
