Figure 40 Creating Archive Tapes from the Target . In order to have the target backup application copy from the replicated cartridges to a physical tape library, it must be "taught" what is on the replicated cartridges. This can be done automatically as shown in Figure 40 by setting the target virtual libary to "read-only" mode (to allow the Backup Application B to access it) and then polling the new XML report (https:/// ReplicationStatus.xml) on the D2D with a script to generate a listing of which virtual cartridges have been successfully replicated since the last poll. This cartridge list can then be fed into a script that automatically triggers tape import jobs in the backup application (which read the new cartridge data and import this content into the media database). The target backup application can then restore from the imported virtual cartridges or copy them to physical tape, etc. For backup application import script examples see Detailed Backup Application Guidelines for VLS. 100 D2D Systems
