In this example, the second copy targets a tape library (tape_stu). The configuration specifies a volume pool (Synthetics) for the target copy.

The copy number for the multiple copy synthetic backup is copy 3. If copy 3 is unavailable, SOURCE_COPY_FALLBACK indicates that copy 3 can be produced using the primary copy.

If copy 3 fails, only copy 3 fails and not the job of the primary copy.

TARGET_STU=tape_stu
VOLUME_POOL=Synthetics
SOURCE_COPY_FALLBACK=PRIMARY
COPY=3
ENABLED=YES
FAIL_MODE=ONE
