Then, expand the backup job and verify that there is at least one restore point available. To check whether restore points are created, open the inventory pane of the Home view and select the Backups node. You must have a backup that has been successfully run at least once.The source and target backup repositories that take part in the backup copy process must be added to the backup infrastructure.This backup file has the same format as the primary backup file.īefore you create a backup copy job, consider the following: When the backup copying job starts, Veeam Backup & Replication accesses backup files on the source backup repository, retrieves data blocks for a specific machine from the backup file, copies them to the target backup repository, and composes copied blocks into a backup file on the target backup repository. In Veeam Backup & Replication, backup copy is a job-driven process.

1: You must keep at least one backup offsite (for example, in the cloud or in a remote site).2: You must use at least two different types of media to store copies of your data, for example, local disk and cloud.3: You must have at least three copies of your data: the original production data and two backups.This is the mechanism that Veeam Backup & Replication provides to help you follow the the 3-2-1 rule: Backup copy allows you to create several instances of the same backup data in different locations.
