Disk-to-Tape Setup

A D2D2T backup is really two backups:

  1. backup data to disk, then
  2. transfer backup data set from disk to tape.
The disk-to-disk operation is fast and will minimise network traffic. Transfer of the data set from disk-to-tape is a backup which you time to run at a later date, when the network is quiet.



Note

Both the disk-to-disk backup and the disk-to-tape transfer must be done on the same media server.
