2. Edit the vaulting cycles to complete their configuration:
a. If the vaulting policy destination is an offsite vendor, choose the offsite
vendor and offsite vendor accounts.
b. If the vaulting policy destination is a vault, leave it at the default destination
or specify another site on your Media Operations Server.
c. Optionally, alter Day Number, representing the number of days before you
move your policy to destination in this vaulting cycle.
d. If the No Later Than day number is zero, but your backup jobs straddle two
days, vaulting job service level agreements (SLAs) may not be achievable
(for example, media are only available from the backup after the shipment
for the offsite vendor). In this case, set Day Number to 2 and use No Later
Than to keep in compliance with SLA.
This option allows some flexibility: for example, if media are not available
in time for the first day's shipment to the destination vault, they can be
manually checked into the onsite vault by clicking Manual Vaulting. When
the next day's vaulting job is created, it automatically asks you to move the
media from the onsite vault to the destination. The Optional tab on the
Vaulting Job Confirmation window lists all media not yet sent to their
destination, which are within their No Later Than window.
e. If the Vault When Full day number is set to zero, but your backup job is
configured to append the current day’s incremental backups to the previous
day’s incremental media, the appending scheme will not work, because
the media will be vaulted immediately after backups. In this case, set Vault
When Full, which will vault the media when they have reached their vaulting
day if the media contain a full backup or the media are physically full. For
example, if you set Day Number to five and enable Vault When Full,
incremental media remain in the device until they are full or more than five
days old. The Optional tab on the Vaulting Job Confirmation window lists
all media not yet sent to their destination, with the Vault When Full policy
enabled and having become full since the vaulting job was created.
f. Use Container Storage to enforce container-based media movements when
moving media to and from offsite locations (if your offsite vendor requires
you to send media in locked containers). You can create container objects
using the global or site-level Media Containers list by clicking Add. You can
also create containers in your media movement jobs (vaulting, scratch bin,
and checkout request jobs).
g. Use Vaulting Days to define which days to ship media to their destination
location.
