Configuring a Copy Policy

To Define a Copy Policy

Click on the Define policy button on the Copy Policy page to display the Define Copy
Policy page. This page contains a number of tabs that allow you to set the parameters for
the copy policy.

General Tab

The General tab defines the format and rename options for the target copy media and the
delay options for the copy job.

Select Auto format all media or Auto format blank.
Rename media to new media name on overwrite. By default, a copy policy
uses the same name for the target copy media as it does for the backup job media.
A rename of the source media will also rename the target copy media.
Enter a number value to define the number of minutes' delay that should be
applied after the backup job completes before the copy job starts or enter a time
before which the copy job should not be run. It is possible to enable both
checkboxes. In the following example, the delay minutes are set to 60 and the
earliest start time is set to 11:00 AM. If the backup job finishes at 10.15, the copy
job will start at 11:15. If the backup job finishes at 9:15, the copy job will start at
11:00.
