Geeks? Ha! if you only knew. . . The purpose of SLP is a hugh concept & one that you need to understand. This is a great step towards Tiering your storage - or whatever you might like. Sounds like more confusion? . . . wait there's more.
A Storage Lifecycle Policy is a pre-defined parameter assigned to a "Storage Unit Process" - say it this way because while a storage unit collect the data on some type of storage medium, the "Life-Cycle" part could mean that after "x" number of days, I want the data on this "Lifel-Cycle" to be moved to a lower-leve "Life-Cycle of storage medium. This kind of talk a few years ago was stuff new acrnyms were being made from. In Netbackup, the SLP's a totally customizeable, the Platimun, Silve, Bronze are just canned names to give you something to start with. They're really a way to defins a way to teir your backup storage data. You might back up to disk, then after 1 week, move it off to tape & delete the date off the disk. A month later, then data might get moved to some other lower-lifecycle storage.
