Cloning Veeam Agent job

Post by Regnor »

Are there any further requirements when cloning Veeam Agent jobs inside VBR?
According to the helpcenter it should be possible to clone managed jobs but I have an instance (9.5U3a) where clone is greyed out for all jobs.

Hi Regnor,

If I am not mistaken in 9.5U3a job cloning works for managed by backup server job types only. This is going to be improved in upcoming U4. Cheers!

Hi Dima,
the job typ is "manged by backup server" so I don't understand why it's greyed out.

Could be a minor UI glitch: make sure that backup job is not running, try to refresh the Veeam B&R console by pressing F5 while the job view is opened. If that does not help please submit a support case and share the case ID? Thank you in advance!

I think I've found the reason; job cloning is only available in the Enterprise edition and above....really confusing.

Licensing agents combined with VBR needs to be enhanced. If you buy a full featured server agent one could expect to also be able to use all VBR features.

Regnor,

You were right: Enterprise Plus edition requirement remains for the agent jobs as well. We've noted an improvement request based on your post. Thank you!
