Using CA ARCserve D2D › Perform File Copy to Disk/Cloud

Perform File Copy to Disk/Cloud

CA ARCserve D2D provides the capability to copy/move files to and from the cloud or disk, which is based on your specified File Copy and retention policies. File Copy can be used for copying critical data to secondary locations and can also be used as an archiving solution. File Copy allows you to safely and securely delete the source data after it has been copied to an off-site or secondary storage repository.

The process of file copying CA ARCserve D2D backup information lets you specify the file copy source, destination, and corresponding policies for the type of File Copy job performed. The available types are File Copy and File Copy - Delete Source. The two processes are similar, with the exception that when you perform a File Copy - Delete Source job, the data is moved from the source to the destination (deleted from source location) and provides more available free space at your source. When you perform a File Copy job, the data is copied from the source to the destination (remains on source destination) and provides multiple stored versions. For more information about configuring the File Copy settings and polices, see Manage File Copy Settings.

The File Copy process can only be launched automatically as scheduled. For more information about configuring the schedule settings, see Specify the File Copy Schedule.

Note: For a compressed File Copy job, the activity log displays only the uncompressed size.
