Hi all,
My current configuration backs up to a NAS, and later though a migration job
moves completed backups to tape for off-site storage.
That puts up a dilemma: copy, or move?
When I copy the backups to tape, I understand that only the original (NAS)
version remains in the database, which would complicate things if ever a backup
has to be restored from tape (find out which tape contains the files you are
looking for, then scan that tape to get its catalog, etc.).
When I move (migrate) them to tape, the backups on NAS are deleted at that
time. Tapes are stored off-site, so I have to get in my car and go get them
before I can restore anything.
Isn't there a way to achieve a combination of both of these, so a copy would
sort of "duplicate" the data in the database as well, and allow me to restore
from the NAS or from tape, whichever is handy and available?
It would be even better (saving space on the NAS) if I could use different
retention periods for both copies.

Manually upgrade your production database.
