MS cluster - backup copy is missing

[xzvf]

Hello,

We have an MS 2019 Exchange DAG cluster which are protected with Veeam B&R. There is a requirement from the client's side that every backup needs to be in every site (Prod & DR).
According to various articles there are two methods to backup a regular Exchange DAG cluster:

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=110
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=110
This one basically backups a a DAG as a failover cluster.

vs.

https://www.veeam.com/kb2463 (end of the article)
This one creates a protection group without any cluster-related stuff and then _adds the two DAG nodes separately_ to a backup job.

For mystical reasons we have implemented the second method.
The backup and restore functions are working so far.
But when I try to add a secondary target to this job, the backup copy job is missing.
Or the same, If I try to add this job to a backup copy job, the backup job simply doesn't shows there as source.

I have tried to look everywhere, especially here ( https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=110 ), but no success so far.
So is this a feature or a bug, that Veeam cannot do a backup copy job from a cluster?
It can do a tape job, but not a backup copy?!? Seems total nonsense to me, so I vote for a bug.
Any info on this would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Hi

I don't see the case number as requested when opening a topic about a technical issue.
Without a case, this topic may be deleted by a moderator.

Backup Copy Jobs are supported for Failover Cluster Backups.
Do you have created a backup copy job of the Type Agent? Or are you trying to add the Agent to a VmWare Backup Copy Job? Can you upload a screenshot with from the backup copy menu, so that we can see the type?

Nevermind, solved myself.
There are two different backup copy types, there I was able to find all jobs.
Nice first post, smh...

That was my thinking too.
With V12, we will simplify the backup copy jobs. You can create one Backup Copy Job and include all types of source backups
