Aux copy grab incrementals

[mitsuman]

Question, hopefully someone can help: When there is a master aux copy scheduled and its associated with just the primary copy of each SP, will the incrementals (each SP has a "master" incremental policy) be sent to tape too or does the master aux schedule have to be associated with the "master" Incremental SP?

You have to create a Synchronous Aux if you want to copy Full and Inc backups.

Thanks bigg22, we have a sync aux setup. We've scheduled the aux copy via a schedule policy and associated the schedule with each SP's secondary. Problem is, each time the schedule runs, fulls get aux'd onto the same tape as the incrementals. So, is there a way to have the incremental aux copies go to different tapes than where the aux of the fulls land? Does the schedule policy have to be associated with the master incremental policy in order for them to go to their own "pool"?

You will have to create an incremental storage policy if you want the backups to be on seperate media.

We have a inc. sp set up ("master inc pol")and associated it with all SP's as their "Incremental Storage Policy". Looks like associating the aux copy operation (via a schedule policy) with the "master" inc. policy worked to get just incrementals onto one tape and fulls onto another. Thanks for your help.
