In this article, I am going to link backup jobs to Tape jobs (configure secondary backup destination) in Veeam backup and replication. You can link your backup jobs to backup copy jobs very easily. This setting lets you create a secondary target for your backup job and then store backups created with the backup job in the 2nd backup repository.
Veeam Backup and Replication sets out two methods for linking backup jobs to tape jobs. If you already have backup jobs configured, you can choose the required jobs in the backup to Tape Job Wizard. Additionally, you can point a backup job to an existing backup job to tape a job via the Backup Job wizard. Visit Veeam to get more details about linking backup jobs to tape backup jobs.
