Performing an on-demand BLM request
BLM Requests can be performed as follows:
• According to schedule from DS-Client
• On demand from DS-Client
• On demand from DS-System (service provider)
You can perform an On Demand BLM Request for any existing backup set with backed up data online. The backup set does not have to be configured with the BLM (Infinite Generations) option.
1. In the Backup Sets tree, select the required backup set.
2. Click Backup > BLM Request.
The Request BLM Wizard appears.
3. Select the backup items you want to copy to the BLM Archive, and click Next.
The Select BLM Options screen appears.
4. Select the BLM options, and click Finish.
NOTE: An alternative is to contact your service provider and have them perform the BLM Request from the DS-System side on Demand.
