8. Depending on the backup options selected in the backup specification, the ZDB
type selected in the backup specification or at the start of the backup, and the
backup type (local or transportable), the following scenarios, which are not
mutually exclusive, are possible.
The replica can be:
• Kept on a disk array for rotation and instant recovery purposes.
• Kept on a disk array only for data mining.
• Moved to a backup medium from the application system (local backup) or
backup system (transportable backup).
• Presented and mounted to the backup system specified in the backup
specification. It can be mounted in read–only or read/write mode.
• If not kept on the array, destroyed after the backup session completes (after
data in the replica is moved to a backup medium).
• Manipulated using the Data Protector
omnidbvss
command.
Figure 101 on page 336 shows the relationships between the components of a
