Configuring a Dedicated Offsite Copy task
You can assign a computer the task of copying recovery point sets from a recovery point destination to a dedicated Offsite Copy location. Configuring such a task is very efficient and powerful. Unlike specifying an Offsite Copy destination within a backup policy that may go to many computers, you use the system resources of one dedicated computer. That one dedicated computer processes an entire Offsite Copy task.
See About Offsite Copy.
See About managing recovery point destinations.
To configure a Dedicated Offsite Copy task
- On the Veritas System Recovery 18 Management Solution Monitor Tasks tab, right-click Veritas System Recovery Tasks, and then click New > Task.
- In the Client Tasks tree, click Veritas System Recovery Tasks > Dedicated Offsite Copy.

In the Offsite Destination drop-down list, select the destination where you want the recover point sets to be copied.
