The Setup:
B&R Server backing up 7 servers ( vms and physical ) with a total of roughly 10tb
Repo1 is a local S3 storage with minio running on Ubuntu
I just setup Repo2 as another S3 storage repo with minio running Ubuntu, with the plan being that I will seed Repo2 from Repo1 and then take it offsite.
To begin that process, I ran selected backups from Repo1 and did a "Copy Backup..." to Repo2.
I then attempted to create a Backup Copy Job, set Storage to Repo2, but when I tried to Map backups nothing was showing in Repo2.
Once it is seeded, I will take the equipment offsite, change IP addresses, and then spin back up for offsite copies.
What is the proper way to seed Repo2 from Repo1 and then setup a backup copy job that picks up where it left off?

Re: Backup Copy to S3 Storage
Hi NorthGuard,
If Repo 1 contains backup files created by primary jobs such backups cannot be seeded / mapped for a backup copy job, it's a limitation of the current version.I ran selected backups from Repo1 and did a "Copy Backup..." to Repo2
Since you manually copy the backups from Repo 1 to Repo 2, you can eliminate manual part and create a backup copy from Repo 1 to Repo 2 from the very start. Backup copy will do the same copy operation and as was performed during manual copy.What is the proper way to seed Repo2 from Repo1 and then setup a backup copy job that picks up where it left off?

Re: Backup Copy to S3 Storage
This makes sense....
One more question:
I have setup the Backup Copy to populate the second storage device and that is all set. When I move that second device offsite, it will have a new IP address... so I will need to add it as a new backup repository.
once I do that and change the existing backup copy jobs to point to the newly-added repo ( which is really just the already-populated second repo with a new IP ), will I be able to "Map Backup" so it picks up where it last synced?
