Abstract
A mechanism using special properties on data containers of a snapshot backup allows the snapshot backup used for a tape backup to be excluded from the policy enforcement. In addition, reconciliation of a local (client-side) backup repository and server repository bypass the snapshot backup to ensure its validity for the backup duration. If the snapshot backup is to be retained, the data container may be brought back under the domain of policy management. The policy clause may stipulate that a snapshot cannot be recycled while it is being used for a tape backup, allowing tape backups to be prioritized over subsequent snapshot backups.
