Helo. I'm reading the NetBackup 7.5 Manual and I have a question about Storage Lifecycle Policy.
If I have confogured, for example, an SLP with:
Backup (Retention period 2 week) and a Duplication from that backup (Retention period 2 week)
When NetBackup make the Duplication? It is done finish of Backup or after to expire retention period of Backup?

When NetBackup make the Duplication?
As soon as possible after the backup has completed.
Duplication will start when:
- MIN_GB_SIZE_PER_DUPLICATION_JOB value is reached (default is 7)
- MAX_MINUTES_TIL_FORCE_SMALL_DUPLICATION_JOB is reached (default is 30)
The above is covered in the manual under LIFECYCLE_PARAMETERS topic.
