Copying Unstructured Data Backups

Copying backups can be helpful if you want to copy file share backups to a repository or local or shared folder. Veeam Backup & Replication copies the whole backup chain.

When Veeam Backup & Replication performs the copy operation, it disables the job, copies files to the target location and then enables the job. After the copy operation finishes, the copied backups are shown in a node with the (Exported) postfix in the inventory pane.
