HP B6960-96035 Start of object copy session, Post-backup object copying, Scheduled object copying

Figure 31 Object copy concept

In the figure, there is an object version resulting from a backup of object A, version 1, and two additional copies of the same object version. Version 1-1 has been obtained by copying the object version resulting from the backup, and version 1-1-1 by copying a copy of the object version. Any of these object versions can be used for a restore of the same object version.

Start of object copy session

You can start an object copy session interactively or specify an automated start of the session. Data Protector offers two types of automated object copying: post-backup object copying and scheduled object copying.

Post-backup object copying

Post-backup object copying takes place after the completion of a session that is specified in the automated object copy specification. It copies objects selected according to the automated object copy specification that were written in that particular session.

Scheduled object copying

Scheduled object copying takes place at a user-defined time. Objects from different sessions can be copied in a single scheduled object copy session.
