You can recopy a volume copy for an existing copy pair. Recopying a volume copy is useful when you want to perform a scheduled, complete backup of the target volume that can then be copied to a tape drive for off-site storage.
Caution -
Recopying a volume copy will overwrite all data on the target volume and automatically make the target volume read-only to hosts. Ensure that you no longer need the data or have backed up the data on the target volume before recopying a volume copy.
To recopy a volume copy:
The Array Summary page is displayed.
The Volume Summary page for that array is displayed.
The Volume Details page for that volume is displayed.
The management software recopies the source volume to the target volume and displays a confirmation message.
