<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>
