11. DASH Copy – Copy Incremental Blocks MA MA MA Description Benefits AuxCopy just got a lot smarter. Deduped copies can now be created faster while minimizing transfer and processing by using the new Dedupe Accelerated Streaming Hash (DASH) method. • Resiliency: Bandwidth throttle, job based confirmation, robust network options, HTTP/S security, restart-ability, multi-streaming , and reporting • Low Impact: No rehydration, fast asynchronous copy movement of just the changed blocks to the new copy (DDB) • Performance: On fast networks, read, compare and move (no rehashing-LAN mode) between any MA-OS, or switch to cache mode for WAN-mode (minimizing network lookups) • Full Copy Mgmt Options: Independent copy retention, selective rules, data verification, job aging flags, W/L/U Remote Copy 1 DDB-1 W/L/U Retain 5 days DC Copy 2 DDB-2 Retain 30 days W/L/U DR Copy 3 “Move just the changed blocks between any MA/copy” DDB-3 Retain 15days
