Virtual Library System acts as a tape copy engine that transfers data from virtual cartridges on disk to a physical tape library connected to the VLS device. The VLS automigration feature supports a shortcut to other windows or menus. HP StorageWorks 12000 Gateway Virtual Library System User Guide 47 - HP 12000 | HP StorageWorks 12000 Gateway Virtual Library System User Guide (AH81 - Page 48
and automigration policies appropriate to meet your storage needs. Echo Copy Concepts Echo copy acts as a transparent disk cache to the physical library, so that the backup application writes to virtual cartridges in the virtual library. Automigration then automatically schedules the copies from - HP 12000 | HP StorageWorks 12000 Gateway Virtual Library System User Guide (AH81 - Page 49
data to the echo copy pools on a replication library that is on the source. During the user-defined availability window, this replication library migrates data to the destination library, known as the LAN/WAN replication target. HP StorageWorks 12000 Gateway Virtual Library System User Guide 49 - HP 12000 | HP StorageWorks 12000 Gateway Virtual Library System User Guide (AH81 - Page 50
