Storage Linking
Link the Primary and Secondary Storage profiles.
Redundancy Management Framework
Link the Primary and Secondary Storage profiles.
Storage Linking establishes the correspondence between the storage profiles of the linked primary and secondary recorders. For example, a device can be recorded for X number of days on a primary recorder and Y number of days on the linked secondary recorder. When devices are added to primary recorders and a specific storage profile is used on the primary recorder, RMF SmartSync adds them to the secondary recorder using a storage profile on the secondary established by the correspondence set up in this block.
