Precautions on backing up and restoring data between storage systems
• Regarding pair creation of paired volumes between storage system
Application Agent does not automatically create paired volumes when it backs up data between
a local site and a remote site. Users must create a pair of paired volumes in advance.
• Regarding data backup from one primary volume to multiple volumes between storage system
Application Agent supports only data backup from one primary volume to one secondary volume.
It cannot back up data from one primary volume to multiple secondary volumes.
• Regarding data backup from multiple primary volumes to multiple secondary volumes between
storage system
Concurrent backup from multiple primary volumes to multiple secondary volumes requires that the
secondary volumes have the same generation number. To assign the same generation number to
multiple secondary volumes, specify the same number in MU#s defined in the RAID Manager
configuration definition file (horcmn.conf). For the system configuration, check the hardware
specifications.
The following figure shows a configuration diagram for concurrent backup from multiple primary
volumes to multiple secondary volumes.
