Specify the Source

The source file is typically a backup destination or a replication destination.

Follow these steps:

1. Specify the following details in the Source tab.

   Source of Copy to Tape

   Specifies the location of the recovery points that will be copied. If you have only one source, then this field is pre-selected. For example, if your plan has only one backup task and then you add Copy to Tape task, then the destination of the backup task becomes the source of copy to tape. If you have multiple source for copy to tape, you can add a Copy to Tape for each of those source. For example, if the first task is a backup task, the second and third tasks are replicate tasks, then you can add three Copy to Tape task to the plan.

   Types of Recovery Points

   Specifies the types of recovery points. The available options are Daily Backups, Weekly Backups, and Monthly Backups.

2. Click the Destination tab.

   The Destination page opens.
