DescriptionParameter
Specifies a snapshot policy depending on the type of already
existing snapshots for the same source volume.
When -strict is selected, Data Protector attempts to create
snapshots as specified by -snapshot_type. If the source
volumes used in the session have existing snapshots of a different
type, the selected type is not created (the session is aborted).
When -loose is selected, Data Protector creates snapshots of
a different type than specified by -snapshot_type (if this helps
to complete a session successfully).
For example, if you select standard snapshots, but Data Protector
detects that standard snapshots cannot be created because
vsnaps/snapclones of the source volumes already exist in a
replica set, it creates either vsnaps or snapclones instead of
standard snapshots.
Note that Data Protector can use only one type of snapshots in
a backup session. For example, if the source volumes used in a
session have existing standard snapshots/vsnaps, the session is
aborted.
-snapshot_policy
{strict | loose}
Available if -snapshot_type clone is selected.
Specify to prevent degradation of the application data access
times by delaying moving data to tape until the cloning process
completes (ZDB to tape, ZDB to disk+tape). Set the maximum
waiting time. When the specified time is reached, backup to tape
starts (even if cloning is not finished).
-wait_clonecopy
number
Specifies EVA configurations:
local selects Business Copy (BC) EVA.
combined selects Continuous Access + Business Copy (CA+BC)
EVA.
-replica_conf
