Changing backup job target repository

[pfs]

We have been using a Backup Copy job for a while to copy our primary backup repository to a secondary storage server with more space.  We would now like to switch the current VMWare backup job to use the copy target instead.  Currently we run our backup jobs in sequence, starting each job as a follow on from the previous.  So this should mean that the Repository Copy is current each day after the jobs have all completed.

What is the best way to change the target repository for our backup jobs?  I cannot find anything in the doco or forum which suggests a method to do this.

Thanks in advance

Hello, @pfs, thank you for your interest in NAKIVO! You can change the target repository on the destination step by keeping/deleting old backups (see the attached screenshot for more details). Feel free to let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with, and we will get back to you. We are looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards.
