You can define and save a set of storage parameters as
a Storage Profile.
A Storage Profile is referenced by an Archive
Request and includes:
- Overrides for the default segment size values set
in Personal Options.
- Parameters for creating a duplicate Archive File,
regardless of the type of archive media.
- Parameters for copying the Archive File to a supported
backup device.
- Retention parameters for the Archive File.
Note: A Storage Profile is not required to create an Archive
File, but is required to automatically create a duplicate Archive
File, to copy an Archive File to a backup device, or to maintain a
retention policy.
Description
Enter
an optional description for the Storage Profile.
Segment Size
Provide size limitations
for Archive File segments stored on fixed or secondary media (for
example, tape). An Archive File that is larger than the space limitation
for the target media must be segmented to span volumes. The size limitations
in the Storage Profile override any default size limitations for segments
set in Personal Options. (Refer to the Common Elements Manual .)
- Fixed
- The segment size (0 to 9999 MB) when the target
is a fixed drive (for example, a local hard drive or network drive).
For no limit, enter a value of 0 (zero).
Notes: - This value also applies to Archive Files copied
to a backup device, because Archive Files are created on disk before
being copied to a backup device.
- The maximum segment size when the target is a Centera
Server is 2 GB.
- Removable
- The segment size (1 to 9999 MB) when the target
is a removable device (for example, zip disk).
When creating primary and duplicate
Archive Files on media of different types, Archive uses the lesser
value for both files. For example, if the target media for the primary
Archive File is a zip disk (with a segment size of 100), and the target
media for the duplicate Archive File is fixed media (with a segment
size of 0), 100 is the segment size for both the primary and duplicate
Archive File. (A value of 0 indicates no limit.)
The
naming convention for Archive File segments is:
filename_1.af, filename_2.af,
(... filename_n.af), filename.af
The name of the last segment is the file name specified
in the Archive Request. For example, when creating an Archive File
named c:\arch\archtest.af in three segments,
the segment names are as follows:
c:\arch\archtest_1.af (segment 1)
c:\arch\archtest_2.af (segment 2)
c:\arch\archtest.af (segment 3)
Tabs
- Primary Copy
- Parameters for the primary Archive File.
- Duplicate Copy
- Parameters for an optional duplicate
Archive File. To display this tab, select the Create Duplicate
Copy check box on the Primary Copy tab.
- (backup device)
- Parameters for copying
the Archive File to a specific backup device (Centera, NetWorker,
or Tivoli®). To display the
appropriate tab, select the Copy to Backup Device check
box on the Primary Copy tab. You can then select
the name of an available backup device from the corresponding drop‑down
list. (The default value for the drop‑down list is set in Product
Options.)
- File Retention
- Parameters
for retaining Archive Files on disk after copying to or recalling
from a backup device. This tab is displayed if both the Copy
to Backup Device check box and a backup device are selected
on the Primary Copy tab.
- Retention Policy
- Parameters for automatically deleting the primary
copy of the Archive File.
Create Duplicate Copy
Select this check box to display the Duplicate
Copy tab. Use the Duplicate Copy tab
to provide parameters for creating a duplicate Archive File. The check
box is cleared by default.
