Managing repository server storage

You can copy data to a repository server for longer-term data protection. The repository server must be IBM Spectrum® Protect server 8.1.7 or later to copy data to standard object storage. To copy data to tape, IBM Spectrum Protect server 8.1.8 or later is required.

You can choose to replicate the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus data that is copied to the IBM Spectrum Protect server to a target server. However, IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is not aware of subsequent IBM Spectrum Protect server replication operations and you cannot restore the replicated data from the target IBM Spectrum Protect server to IBM Spectrum Protect Plus.
