In the article, I am going to show you how to create Veeam File Copy Job in Veeam Backup and Replication. To copy backup jobs to a secondary location, you should configure a backup copy job. The backup copy job specifies how, where, and when to copy backups. A Veeam backup copy job can be applied to process one or several machines. VMs included in the copy job are processed in parallel. If a VM included in the backup copy job has several disks, the disks are processed sequentially, one after another. For more detail on Creating file copy jobs, please visit Veeam
Your backup copy job will run so that it can relocate the data to the cloud repository. Creating a backup copy job will reduce the additional load on your environment’s VMs and your backup infrastructure. That’s because Veeam does not need to write production data over the public network throughout the job, as it copies actual backup data to the cloud repository. Follow the steps below to create a Veeam backup copy job located on the virtual systems’ recommendations.
