Preparing for disaster

Symantec recommends that you get and save the storage server configuration. Getting and saving the configuration can help you with recovery of your environment. For disaster recovery, you may need to set the storage server configuration by using a saved configuration file.

See “Getting the storage server configuration” on page 68.

Moving images off-site

Optimized duplication moves the primary backup data to other deduplication pools. It provides the easiest, most efficient method to move data off-site. You then can recover from a disaster that destroys the storage on which the primary copies reside by retrieving images from the other deduplication pool.

See “About optimized duplication of deduplicated data” on page 28.

See “Configuring optimized deduplication copy” on page 57.
