Recipe: Copy Backups to another Repository (one-time)
Expected deliverables:
A one-time copy of a backup chain to another backup repository or folder, without configuring a scheduled job.
Time to complete: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- A Backup Repository (or local/shared folder) to receive the copied backups.
- An existing backup with at least one successfully created restore point.
Before you start:
This is a one-time operation that copies the whole backup chain. If you need a scheduled copy, create a Backup Copy Job instead. Note that you can copy backups of an individual workload only if its backups are per-machine backups with separate metadata files
Assumptions:
You have a Veeam Backup and Replication server installed.
Method:
- Open the Veeam Backup Console and select Home on the bottom left menu.
- Select Backups in the inventory pane, right-click the backup job or workload you want to copy and select Copy backup.
- Select the target backup repository (or specify a server and folder).
- You can select the Delete this backup automatically in check box if you want to delete the copied backups after a specific time period.
- Confirm the operation and click OK. The copied backup appears in the (Exported) category in the inventory pane.
