Backup Lifecycle Management (BLM)
You can use the Backup Lifecycle Management (BLM) feature with the DS-System, DS-Client, and BLM Archiver to copy, remove, and destroy backup data.
You can restore backup data that has been previously sent to the BLM Archiver from the DS-System (on-demand) or DS-Client (on-demand or scheduled).
Data is stored by the BLM Archiver in archive packages. Each restorable image represents data from a single backup and can contain multiple generations of files.
You must enable this feature as part of your license agreement and activate it through the DS-License Server. Once activated, the feature is automatically available to all DS-Client accounts on the DS-System.
NOTE: You must configure a BLM billing scale using the DS-Billing application. This billing scale is applied to DS-Client data stored by the BLM Archiver. For more information, see
“DS-Billing”.
