Forbid Advanced Copy

Overview

This function protects a volume so that the volume cannot be registered as the copy destination volume of Advanced Copy.

[Forbid Advanced Copy] is a function that protects the data in the selected volumes by forbidding the volume to be the copy destination of the copy sessions or restoration setting. When the Advanced Copy function is used by multiple software, the same volumes may be used by multiple software, resulting in unexpected data corruption. This function is available to protect the data in the copy source that is to be deleted.

"Standard", "WSV", "TPV", and "FTV" type volumes can be protected.

Caution

  • If an Advanced Copy license is not registered, volume protection cannot be enabled.

  • Do not protect the External Volumes (or volumes whose "Usage" is "Migration").

  • The following volumes cannot be protected:

    • ODX Buffer volumes

    • NAS system volumes

    • Data Container Volume

    • Veeam Snapshot Volumes

    • Volumes that are already protected

    • Volumes that are used for the Storage Cluster function

Note

  • Volumes that are already being used as the copy destination volumes can also be protected.
