Which storage policy can be assigned to a subclient?
For NAS subclients, you can select a Storage Policy associated with either of the following:
-
drives configured on a MediaAgent
-
drives configured on a NAS file server
If the drives are configured on a MediaAgent, you must install the following on the MediaAgent:
- File System iDataAgent
Can I use a library that is attached to a NAS File Server to backup data from any iDataAgent?
Yes. You can backup data from any iDataAgent to a library attached to NAS file server. Perform the following to backup data to NAS attached library.
-
Assign a storage policy with NAS attached library to the subclient.
-
Ensure that all copies from the storage policy use the NAS attached library.
-
Use the file servers provided by the same vendor for the A NAS client and the file server attached to the library.
-
If the primary copy is configured to use additional data paths, ensure that the drive pools in all the data paths must point to the same type of file servers. Also, ensure that the drive pools of all the secondary copies, point to the same type of file servers.
-
If a storage policy is utilizing a drive pool directly attached to a NAS file server, then ensure that the MediaAgent in the data path is connected to the file server.
I have a tape written by a file server to a NAS attached tape drive. Is it possible to read the data on the tape using a MediaAgent?
Yes.
