I'm running NetBackup 7.5 with one master server and one media server with about 125 clients.
Recently I've begun transitioning our old policies to use storage lifecycle policies to improve our short term rto and reduce administrative work we were doing. I was hoping to increase our utilization of our tape drive as well by writing from the primary backup location which is a PureDisk pool (I know that it is not ideal for a primary backup location, but it's all we have available in terms of disk storage).
I want to be able to run the backups during off business hours while duplicating those backups to tape with a 24/7 window. Is there a way to define separate schedules to achieve this? From what I have read so far it seems like the duplication jobs try to start immediately after backups are finished, but that setup seems to be constrained by our time window.
TLDR can I have duplication jobs in SLP's operate outside the backup window?
Thank you for your time!
