We recommend that no other schedules or administrative tasks are
performed during client backups, so that backups have the maximum system
resources available to them to minimize the backup time. Running
administrative tasks or schedules during the client backup window will only
take processing cycles away from the backup tasks.

12.2.1 Defining an off-site backup schedule

When the client backups are complete, the new data in the primary storage pools
should be copied to a copy storage pool. The copy storage pool tapes, along with
the database backup tapes, should be taken to a secure off-site location or vault.
The copy storage pool and database backup tapes are referred to collectively as
the off-site backups, and will be used to restore your environment in the event of
a catastrophic failure or disaster.
Flow of events
The order of execution of these tasks should be as follows:
1. Check that there are no running sessions with the clients. When you back up
the primary storage pools and database, you want to make sure that you are
capturing an up-to-date copy. If a client is still backing up its data, wait until it
is done before starting the off-site backups.
