Creating Backup Copy Jobs

To copy a VM backup to a secondary location, you must configure a backup copy job. The backup copy job defines how, where and when to copy VM backups. One job can be used to process backups of one or more VMs.

You can configure a job and start it immediately or save the job to start it later. Jobs can be started manually or scheduled to run automatically at specific time.
