Cloning Backup Policy

You can clone backup policies configured in Veeam Backup & Replication. For example, you may want to configure a backup policy that will be used as a ‘policy template’, and use this policy to create multiple policies with similar settings.

You can clone a backup policy in one of the following ways:

• Using Veeam Backup & Replication Console
• Using Veeam Backup & Replication Web UI

4. After a backup policy is cloned, you can edit all its settings, including the job name.
