Submit a Tape Staging Backup Job Using a Rotation Scheme

This section topic describes how to set up tape staging (D2T2T) backup jobs using a rotation or GFS rotation scheme. A rotation scheme lets you determine the type of backup (full, differential, and incremental), when to run a backup job, and where to save the backup data (media).

3. Click the Staging Location tab and the Destination tab to configure the media pool and group.

   Specify the values that you require to submit the backup job in the following fields:

   • Media Pool or Media pool (prefix)

     Note: The name of the media pool or the media pool prefix that you specify in this field is the name (or prefix) of the media pool that you will use for the tape staging job.

   • Group
4. Select the Schedule tab, and select the Use Rotation Scheme option.

   A list of available schemes display in the Scheme Name drop-down list.

5. From the Scheme Name drop-down list, select the scheme that you require for your backups.
