POLICY MANAGEMENT: - Policy created by administrator and stored in Database.

A) POLICY DOMAIN : - It is a logical way of managing backup & archive policies for a group of Nodes. It
contains one or more policy sets.
A client node can only be associated with one policy Domain, ut one node may be register one or more !"#
"erver.
Policy domain contains a grace period backup and an archive retention Period.
1) BACKUPRETENTION : - "pecify the No. of days to retain a backup version when the server is unable to
rebind the file to an appropriate management class.
2) ARCHIVERETENTION : - "pecify the no. of days to retain a Archive copy when the server is unable to
rebind the file to an appropriate management class.
NOTE:- !hese options are used when default management has no copy group.
B) POLICY SET : - Policy set is a $ollection of #anagement class. !here can be only one Active policy "et per
policy Domain.
After creation the policy set activate this because without activation it will not work. %hen we modify original
Policy set then we have to activate again.
C) MANAGEMENT CLASS : - A #anagement $lass contains only one ackup & Archive $opy group. &ser can
bind his files to a management class through the include'e(clude list.
D) COPYGROUP: - )ach management class can contain up to two copy groups.
1) BACKUP COPYGROUP
2) ARCHIVE COPYGROUP
COPY GROUP PARAMETER: -
VEREXIST= "pecify the ma(imum number of backup version to retain for files that are currently present on the client file
system. y default its value is *.
VERDELETE= "pecify the ma(imum number of backup version retain for files that have been deleted from the client file
system. +,-
Ret et!"= "pecify the number of days to retain a backup version after that has been inactive. y default ./.
Ret #$%&= "pecify the number of days to retain the last backup version of a file that has been deleted from the client file system.

&se this command to verify that a policy set is complete and valid before you activate it. !he command e(amines the
management class and copy group definitions in the policy set and reports on conditions that you need to consider
before activating the policy set.
Activate policyset
&se this command to copy the contents of a policy set to the A$!I<) policy set for the domain. !he server uses the
rules in the A$!I<). !he server uses the rules in the A$!I<) policy set to manage client operations in the domain.
=ou can define multiple policy sets for a policy domain, but only one policy set can be active. !he current A$!I<)
policy set is replaced by the one you specify when you issue this command. =ou can modify the A$!I<) policy set
only by activating another policy set.

AUTOMATIC DATA MOVEMENT

#igprocess2222!he number of migration processes is dependent upon the setting of the #I?P@7$)"" parameter and
the number of nodes with data on the migrating storage pool. Eor e(ample, if the #I?P@7$)"" parameter is e9ual
to si(, but there are only two nodes with data on the storage pool, migration processing only consists of two
processes, not si(.
#igdelay222"pecifies the minimum number of days that a file must remain in a storage pool before the file becomes
eligible for migration from the storage pool. Default is /.
#igcontinue222"pecifies whether you allow the server to migrate files that do not satisfy the migration delay time.
Ye, "pecifies that, when necessary to meet the low migration threshold, the server continues to migrate files that do
not satisfy the migration delay time. N# "pecifies that the server stops migration when no eligible files remain to be
migrated, even before reaching the low migration threshold. !he server does not migrate files unless the files satisfy
the migration delay time.
B) RECLAMATION: - It is a process in which fragmented data transfer from one or more volumes to a fewer volume. "o that
we reuse the original volume as a scratch volume. Its advantage is that we can save enough space.
It is depending upon reclaim threshold parameter when the threshold reaches this parameter then
reclamation process start. y default it is 0/H.
%e can set the @eclamation when we define or update the storage pool. !here will be a single
!hreshold value.

threshold.
RECLAMABLE -ILES: - A) Eiles e(pire or are deleted form the <olumes.

Disadvantage:Migration is slow and collocation increases both the amount of server time needed to
collocate files for storing and the number of volumes required.

BACKUPSET:A backup set is a collection of a clientGs active backed up data, stored and managed as a single obJect,
on specific media, in server storage. %hile the server allows you to create a backup set for any client node, a backup
