Copying an existing job

[marius roma]

Is there any way to copy an existing job (I mean copying all the settings) to create a new job and then modify it?

You can right-click a job and select "Clone", but I believe you need to be running "Enterprise" edition licencing (or higher).

As far as I remember, this limitation applies to web UI (Enterprise Manager) only. With Veeam B&R main management console you can clone jobs with every product edition.

Additionally, if you need to automate this process, you can use the following script:

Code: Select all

asnp VeeamPSSnapin
$Job = Get-VBRJob -name "Name of your Backup Job"
$Job | Copy-VBRJob 

Thanks.

This limitation is not only Web UI.
All job clone feature(Veeam console, Web UI and Powershell) need Enterprise or Enterprise Plus Edition.
If I performed job clone by powershell, this error occur.

Copy-VBRJob : Job cloning requires Veeam Backup & Replication Enterprise edition.

Correct, I've just checked the Standard license - the option is disabled in Veeam B&R console as well.

In this case, you can write a script that copies settings of a given job and pass them to a newly-created one. Some ideas can be taken from here. Thanks.
