Use the following procedure to add a storage destination to a storage lifecycle policy:
To add a storage destination to a lifecycle policy
In the NetBackup Administration Console, select NetBackup Management > Storage > Storage Lifecycle Policies.
In the New Storage Lifecycle Policy dialog box, click Add.
To create a hierarchical duplication destination, select a destination to become the source of the destination to be added, then click Add.
In the New Destination dialog box, under Use for, select the purpose for which images are to be written to the new destination:
Backup images to be written to the destination as part of a backup operation.
Duplication images to be written to the destination as part of a duplication operation.
Snapshot images to be written to the destination as part of the snapshot operation.
Snapshot destinations cannot be used as the source for any duplication.
Indicate the Storage unit or storage unit group where the backups are to be written. No BasicDisk, SnapVault, or disk staging storage units can be used as destinations in a lifecycle.
Indicate the Volume pool where the backups (or copies) are to be written.
Indicate the Media owner if the storage unit is a Media Manager type and server groups are configured.
Specify a Media owner to allow only those media servers in the group to write to the media on which backup images for this policy are written.
Select the retention type for the destination:
See Staged capacity managed retention type for storage destinations.
See Expire after duplication retention type for storage destinations.
If a policy is configured to back up to a lifecycle, the retention that is indicated in the lifecycle is followed. The Retention attribute in the schedule is not followed.
Indicate an Alternate read server that is allowed to read a backup image originally written by a different media server.
Select whether to Preserve multiplexing. This option is available for duplication destinations that use tape media.
