Cloning Backup Jobs

You can create a new job by cloning an existing one. Job cloning allows you to create an exact copy of any job with the same job settings.

To clone a job, do the following:

1. In the Veeam Backup & Replication console, open the Home view.
2. In the inventory pane, select Jobs.
3. In the working area, select the job and click Clone on the ribbon, or right-click the job and select Clone.

The name of the cloned job is formed by the following rule: <job_name_clone1>, where job_name is the name of the original job and clone1 is a suffix added to the original job name. If you clone the same job again, the number in the name will be incremented, for example, job_name_clone2, job_name_clone3 and so on. To change the name of a cloned job, edit the job as described in section Editing Job Settings.
