The behavior of the fail option and the default settings depend on whether the concurrent copies operation was configured in Vault or in NetBackup:

• In Vault, if you choose Fail All Copies, all copies of that image will fail, independent of the success or failure of other image copy operations. The next time the Vault profile runs, Vault again tries to duplicate the image if the following conditions are true:

  • The image is selected.

  • The Vault profile did not eject the primary backup.

• In NetBackup, if you choose Fail All Copies, the entire backup job fails and no copies are made. In this case, normal NetBackup behavior ensures that a successful backup for this policy eventually occurs. That is, NetBackup automatically retries the backup if time permits and, the next time the backup window for the policy opens, NetBackup again tries to run the backup (regardless of the frequency of the schedule). NetBackup does this until the backup succeeds, although one or more backup windows may pass before the backup is successful.
