BRARCHIVE options to save/del

Question

Hey guys,
I would like to schedule a brarchive run to take 2 copies of the archvie logs and delete them.  I noticed however the tool has a few options to do this, and I still cannot determine what the differences (or bennefits) of either of these are:
-SCD (second copy delete)
-SSD (double save and delete)
-SDS (second copy delete save).
Is there any difference in these parameters?  what is the difference between copy and save (I assume both just get copied or saved to the netbackup/storage device?
Thanks guys
Richard

Hi,
- SCD: Saves all archives that have alreadybeen backed up once for a second time and delete if second save is ok
- SSD: Save one redo to two devices at the same time and delete if both saves succesfull
- CDS: combo of -SCD plus -S , so do as -SCD and than do the first save of not yet backed up logs to the same device
-scd requires a -s run to take place before
See this table what will be saved to what tapes:
Log   -s / -scd |    -ssd     |    -cds

Start run 1 (-s/-ssd/-cds) here for Logs 10..19: Log being saved to the tape with X
System continues to write Log 20..29
