Can you change the job order in tape job?

Post by pkelly_sts »

We have a couple of tape jobs configured, one on each site, and one of the jobs each is configured to copy is the offsite copy job of the opposite site.

When we added these copy jobs, they were last in the tape job list so by the time the local backups were copied to tape, the site-to-site copy job will have completed so is also ready for copying to tape by the time the tape job gets to it.

However, since then we've ended up doing various work which resulted in us creating new primary backup jobs and it's only just come to my attention that these jobs are now at the /end/ of the backup task list, so the tape job is trying to backup the backup copy job first, which isn't fully copied at this point.

So, is there a way we can easily change the order of the tasks within a tape job? If not, PLEASE can you create one?

Hi Paul,

No it's currently not possible, but we are going to fix it in next update.

Thanks Dmitry, is there perhaps a workaround that could be done with support assistance if I open a ticket? (e.g. update the sql table or similar?)
