With Tivoli® Storage
Manager Version
7.1.1, you can use the policies that are defined on the target replication
server to manage replicated client-node data independently from the
source replication server. In previous releases, client node data
on the target replication server was managed by policies on the source
replication server.
When this feature is enabled, you can use the policies on
the target replication server to complete the following tasks:
- Maintain more or fewer versions of replicated backup files between
the source and target replication servers.
- Retain replicated archive files for more or less time on the target
replication server than they are being maintained on the source replication
server.
If you keep fewer versions of files or retain files for less
time on the target replication server, you can reduce the amount of
storage that is required for this server.
To use this feature, you must install Tivoli Storage
Manager V7.1.1 on
the source and target replication servers. Then, you must verify the
differences between the policies for client nodes on the source and
target replication servers. Finally, you can enable the policies on
the target replication server.
