Problem
How to configure Duplicate Backup Jobs in Backup Exec for Windows Servers (BEWS)
Solution
It is possible to create a job to duplicate backup data with the option to either duplicate existing backup sets or to duplicate backup sets immediately following a scheduled job.
When duplicating existing backup sets, the backup sets selected from catalogs are read from the source media and written to the selected destination, such as a drive, drive pool, or backup folder. It is possible to schedule when this type of job runs.
When selecting to duplicate backup sets following a job, a backup job will run, and then the backup sets it created are copied to the destination targeted for the duplicate job. To duplicate backup sets following a job, the backup job must be scheduled to run and must not be associated with any other duplicate jobs. It is not possible to schedule this job; instead, the duplicate job runs only after the related or linked backup job completes.
To duplicate backup data:
1. From the navigation bar, click Job Setup
2. Under Backup Tasks, select New job to duplicate backup data (Figure 1)

The duplicate job will launch immediately following the completion of the scheduled backup job.
