Anyone figured out how to move data from disk to disk then tape

[mitsuman]

We need to first backup to a disk target (works fine) then move that data from the disk target onto a tape library automatically, without the client being affected. Anyone know how to do that in CommVault 6.1 with two media agents sharing one disk target and one library?

If one of the mediaagents is not the client to be affected, it is quite simple...

You have to add an extra copy to the Storage Policy of the back-up called like Auxilary Copy...

I think the procedure can be found in the Books Online...

If you have problems with it, I can look for you either...

Thanks Bart, it was a little confusing terminology wise but that did the trick. We added a secondary copy to our storage policy then set an aux copy scheduled job that copies the "disk copy" to the library and voila! no client processes running, media agent writes everything to tape.
