Note also the check box underneath the filter lists. This is initially grayed out, but if you
deselect Inherit settings from backup job, you can edit this check box. Make sure it is
selected if you want to Allow job to use media which have no detectable barcode.
For more information about adding barcode filter rules see "Barcode Filters" on page 21

To Assign a Copy Policy to Instances of a Backup Job

Once the copy policy for the backup job has been defined, the summary page is updated
with a brief description of the selected options. You now need to assign the policy to the
instances of the backup job to which it should be applied, i.e. the rotation sets to which it
should be applied. You can also define how many copy sets (up to a maximum of 99) you
require for each rotation set; this allows multiple copies to be created.
In the following example, we have created a Simple-6 schedule that creates six backup
sets. We do not wish to copy the daily backups but we wish to copy the weekly and
monthly backups. We will create a single copy set for each backup set. The copy will
start 2 minutes after the associated backup has completed and will be to an attached tape
drive. Encryption and barcode filter settings are inherited from the backup job, but
hardware compression is enabled because we are writing to a tape drive that supports this
feature.
