How do you force a copy to the Offsite location (usb drive)

[MattReade]

After adding an external hard drive as an Offsite location to an existing BESR job, how do you get it to make a copy of the last BESR job instantly?

Or do you have to wait for the next the job in question runs?


Thanks

If you want the product to make the offsite copy, you can just run a backup using the Run Now option.
If you want the copy without making a backup, just use xcopy or robocopy to copy the .v2i file(s). It's essentially the same process.

Hello ProductPro.

That information helps.

Is there a way to reduce the resources used by the copy to Offsite function?

I notice the "Avg_disk_queue_length" and overall server performance really take a hit during the copying process.

Thanks
