Alternatively, starting from version 8, there is a possibility to instruct Backup Copy Job to wait until the new backup data is recorded:īackupCopyLookForward HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication\ Backup Copy Job has to copy data from 18:00.ĭue to the fact that no one can predict when the 18:00 backup process will be completed, it is possible to set the time of Backup Copy Job on “much later”, for example 19:00 (7:00 p.m.).However, in some situations the Backup Copy Job has to wait for a specific point in time when it can transfer the new backup data. This mechanism significantly simplifies the scheduling, as it allows the Backup Job to have more time for data transfer if needed. If there is new data available since 01:00 of the previous day in the backup repository, Backup Copy Job starts transferring the data immediately. In Figure 1, an interval is set to one day, and the time of a check-up for new available backup data is set to 01:00. The first step in the configuration defines a time window and a point in time at which Backup Copy Job checks for new available backup data: If all data cannot be transferred within the defined time window, the job continues attempts on the data transfer until all data is saved to a target location.When the new backup is discovered, the job copies it.

The primary task of Backup Copy Job is to copy existing backup data to another disk system in order to restore it later or even to send backup data to an offsite location (see the 3-2-1 Rule).

Veeam’s Backup Copy Job can provide more than its name suggests.
