convert backup job into backup copy job without retransfer

[SvenBedrich]

Hi, we are B&R (9.5 Enterprise Plus) to backup our Windows Server from a outside location with poor bandwith.
I'd now like to change the normal backup job into a backup copy job using WAN Accelerator.
To avoid to transfer everything again i tried to map existing backup but only have a choice from backup copy jobs not the existing old backup jobs.
Any idea how solve that situation, because a new transfer is not an option?!

Hi Sven and welcome to the community!

Can you provide more details about the backup job settings, since there are a few limitations for backup files that can be used for mapping. Thanks!

Hi, reading your link i see that "You cannot map a backup copy job to a backup created by a Veeam Agent backup job configured in Veeam Backup & Replication." but that's exactly what we did ;-(
No way to ship arround that situation?

Thanks

Unfortunately, there is no applicable workaround at the moment. Thanks!

I had precisely the same question/concern with my off-site backup job I wanted to convert to a backup copy job and I saw that this impossible. This is a shame Veeam.
