Join Backup Copy jobs

Post by ober72 »

Hi folks,

Is it possible to join already existing backupcopy jobs. I created a number of jobs but now realize that since they run sequentially and continuous it would be better to have them all in one.

Thanks

Hi Geoff,

Do you want to merge all existing entire backup chains into one? I'm not sure that's possible. If you want to have a single backup copy job, then you will need to either add sources from other backup copy jobs to the main one or create a new backup copy job with all backup files sources added to the job.

Thanks!

Geoff, consider re-seeding procedure described here, should help in addressing what you're after.

I believe you can create a couple of dummy backup jobs (one per backup copy job), map them to the files created backup copy jobs. Once you do that, create a new backup copy job and select dummy backup jobs as its source. Run it once. The result should be a "collective" backup copy job. Thanks.
