ca_backup - Disk Staging Options

The ca_backup -diskstage command allows you to back up data to a disk (staging area), and then based on selected policy options, migrate (copy) the data to the final destination (which could be a tape or disk) or automatically purge the data from the staging area after a specified duration time. When necessary, disk staging also allows you to restore data directly from the staging area.

Note: Arcserve Backup will not execute a staging backup job if any of the following error conditions exist:

• If the GROUP NAME is "*", null, or is a valid group name but not a staging group, Arcserve Backup will prompt you to provide a valid disk staging GROUP NAME.
• You are not properly licensed and attempt to input more than the maximum two streams.
• Copy policies and -DONOTCOPY are specified.
• Multistreaming or Multiplexing is specified for a disk staging job. Arcserve Backup supports multiple streaming only for disk staging backup jobs.
• The final destination device group is a disk staging device group.
