Backup Copy doesn't start

[Gimbo58]

I have two repository on SAN alimented from Veeam Agent for Windows installed on two Windows 2016 Server [not DC]
I made one Backup Copy Job in this way
Target Path: \\...........\backup\BackupVeeamCOPY
Type: VMware Backup Copy
Source items:
Backup Repository PDM
Backup Repository DATA
Scheduled: Immediate Copy (mirroring)

but this job doesn't start. Remain in stopped status

When I added the repository, the repository size was 0 even if in [Backup Infrastructure][Backup Repository] the used space is correct

Hello Gianni,

According to the description backup copy was created for VMware but you want to transfer agent backups. You need to create backup copy for agent jobs (select different platform type during backup copy creation). Also please keep in mind that mirror mode currently does not support managed by agent job type (all the backups will be skipped), if that's the case - I'd recommend to stick with periodic copy instead. Thanks!

Ok, I've changed the platform from VM to Windows Computer Backup. Now when I've to set the object from which copy backups, through source button I choosed my repositories, but nothing appears in the list, and if I start it using Synch Now the Copy Job start, but "nothing to process" appears

What's the type of the source agent job (managed by agent / managed by server)? What is the agent type (Windows/Linux / both)? Can you confirm that backup files were created by the primary jobs in the question (do you see those under Home > Backup > Disk)? Thank you!

Ok.
I've installed windows agent on the machine where there is configured the job
Backup are created from the agent and under Home > Backup > Disk (imported) I can see my agent with corecct number of Restore Point (44 vib or vbk. Last 2 months)

Hi Gimbo58,

Backup copy job does not process imported backups, only the ones with the existing backup job. If the agent is configured to backup to a repository in the question all newly created restore points will be picked up by the backup copy while imported backups will be ignored. Thanks!
