Specify two or more storage volumes. Storage volumes must be:
- unclaimed
- on different arrays
Example
Configure the metro node metadata backup schedule:
VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/system-volumes> configuration metadata-backup
Configuring Meta-data Backups
To configure meta-data backups you will need to select two volumes (78G or greater),
preferably on two different arrays. Backups will occur automatically each day, at a time
you specify.
