The following items describe the Fibre Transport path for duplication:
■ Duplication from the 52xx or 53xx appliance over FT to the 50xx deduplication
appliance.
The duplication source on the 52xx or 53xx must be Media Server Deduplication
Pool (MSDP). The operation is optimized duplication and only the unique
deduplicated segments are transferred.
■ Duplication from the 52xx or 53xx appliance over FT to the other 52xx or 53xx
appliance.
The duplication source and destination must both be MSDP. The operation is
optimized duplication and only the unique deduplicated segments are transferred.
■ Duplication from the tape storage over FC to the 52xx or 53xx appliance and
then over FT to the 50xx deduplication appliance.
The operation is normal duplication.
■ Duplication from the 50xx deduplication appliance over FT to the 52xx or 53xx
appliance and then over FC to the tape storage.
The operation is normal duplication.
For duplication, you must configure the 50xx deduplication appliance as a storage
server in NetBackup. Then, use either a storage lifecycle policy or the NetBackup
Catalog utility to duplicate backup images.
The following describes the resiliency available for FT jobs:
■ Multiple FT paths can exist between hosts.
■ Back up, restore, and duplication jobs failover to other FT paths if they exist. If
no other FT paths are available, jobs fail.
