Proxy backup is valid for live and batch backup. In this scenario the replication destination is mounted, work performed on it and then unmounted. The actual sequence is as follows:
- The replication is re-evaluated.
- If the replication is live then it is paused.
- The updated replicated volumes are mounted on the mount host.
- The After Mount script (specified in the Mount Operation Wizard) is invoked on the mount host. This script would typically cause the proxy backup to run, calling out to a third party backup product or invoke a Protector backup using a trigger schedule.
- The Before Unmount script is invoked on the mount host. This script may be omitted.
- The replicated volumes are unmounted from mount host.
- If the replication is live then it is resumed.
