Storage Lifecycle Policies

You can create Storage Lifecycle Policies (SLP).

To create Storage Lifecycle Policies

  1. Click Storage -> Storage Lifecycle Policies on the NetBackup console. Select New Storage Lifecycle Policy.
  2. Enter a unique policy name for the policy. Click on the Add button.
  3. Select Operation as Backup, and set the destination pool to the MSDP pool that was created. Choose the Retention type based on your requirement.
  4. A new entry for Backup gets added. Click on the Add button again.
  5. Select Operation as Deduplication and set the destination tier to the OST storage unit that was created. Choose the Retention type based on your requirement.
  6. Both entries for SLP appear in the Storage Lifecycle Policy tab. The first operation is for Backup and the second operation is for Duplication.
