Overview
SEP sesam migration is a process of copying selected savesets from one media pool (source pool, e.g., disk) to another media pool (target or destination pool, e.g., tape). You can select the savesets for migration from the selected backup task, task group, or client. To optimize migration performance, only the savesets with status successful or with warnings can be selected for migration, while the erroneous or only partially restorable savesets (containing data from cancelled backups) cannot be migrated.
With migration you can set up a disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) backup strategy to reduce your backup and recovery times, move older data offsite for long-term data retention and prepare for disaster recovery.
You can schedule a migration job so that it starts at a specific time and date or start it manually from the menu bar Activities -> Immediate start -> Migration.
Configuring a migration job involves the following steps:
- Creating a migration task by selecting the backed up data, source and target media pool
- Creating a migration schedule by specifying when you want to migrate your data
- Creating a migration event by reviewing migration task parameters and (optionally) setting event priority
Prerequisites
- You must have at least two media pools configured in your SEP sesam environment.
- You must have admin user rights for performing a migration.
