Physical\VM backups to Secondary location

Post by Derek J »

I have 7 Virtual Servers that backup to a Buffalo NAS and this is working. I also have this Backup job backing up to a Secondary offsite Synology NAS. After RSYNC on the Buffalo kept erring on scheduled backup, so only immediate jobs completed and also the atrocious time it took to copy to the Synology NAS, I switched to VEEAM backing up to the secondary Synology NAS. These backups also seem to be working well. The seven virtual servers are in the same backup job. I added a physical server into a Protection group so it too can be backed up to these same locations. What I am running into is the Physical server cannot seem to be included in the same backup jobs as the VM's. Also when I create a separate job, it cannot be set to backup to the secondary Synology NAS either. The configure Secondary location is unchecked and greyed out.
Is there a better way to do this or will I need more that one scheduled task?

You have need to create a backup copy job.
Secondary locations are backup copy jobs, not backup jobs.

Ah thanks Mildur I try that. I hoped I could just add the physical server as part of the same job.

This seems to say that virtual and backup agent jobs are separate. It will not allow me to add the server to the existing Backup job doing the VM's.

Mildur thanks just added it as a Backup Copy Job like the first one I set up and looks good to go. :)
