<h1 class="topictitle1">Create a move policy</h1>
|

|
|
<div><p>As part of your backup plan, you need to manage media protection
|
||
|
|
and rotation. Using Backup, Recovery and Media Services (BRMS), you can create
|
||
|
|
move policies to manage media movement.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>To ensure the safety of your data, it is recommended that you
|
||
|
|
keep at least the last two versions of your full system backups and the most
|
||
|
|
current backed up version stored on media. In addition, you should duplicate
|
||
|
|
the media for each backup and keep the copies in a safe, offsite location
|
||
|
|
to ensure that in the event of a natural disaster, such as a fire, these versions
|
||
|
|
of your data can be obtained.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can use move policies to keep track
|
||
|
|
of where your media is and when it is scheduled to be in each storage location.
|
||
|
|
Move policies include information about the different storage locations that
|
||
|
|
your media will reside in during its lifecycle. For example, when you do weekly
|
||
|
|
full backups of your server, you have a courier come to pick up your media
|
||
|
|
and take it to a vault, where it stays for 21 days. At the end of the 21 days,
|
||
|
|
the media is returned to your site and placed in a filing cabinet in your
|
||
|
|
computer room. A move policy for your full backups would keep track of where
|
||
|
|
your media was at each step of its journey, and would include information
|
||
|
|
about each storage location, such as how long it would take to retrieve the
|
||
|
|
media from this location in the event of an emergency.</p>
|
||
|
|
You can use the <span class="uicontrol">New
|
||
|
|
Move Policy</span> wizard to create a move policy using iSeries™ Navigator.
|
||
|
|
To do that, follow these steps:</div>
|
||
|
|
<ol><li><span>Expand <span class="uicontrol">Backup, Recovery and Media Services</span>.</span></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><span>Right-click <span class="uicontrol">Move Policies</span> and select <span class="uicontrol">New
|
||
|
|
Policy</span>.</span></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><span>Follow the wizard's instructions to create a new move policy.</span></li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Media management and movement is a very important part of your
|
||
|
|
backup strategy. If your media is lost or not adequately protected, you could
|
||
|
|
lose data in the event of a disaster or system failure. If you would like
|
||
|
|
help in implementing an effective backup strategy for your company, including
|

media management, contact IBM<sup>®</sup> Business Continuity and Recovery Services.</div>
