Copy jobs support a second destination when the target is configured to be copy-compatible.
Steps for Windows
- Create or inspect source and destination storage configurations.
- Check the official guidance for the copy-compatible destination requirement.
- Add a Copy job for the intended source and destination.
- Run the copy, then restore a revision from the destination.
How to verify the result
The copied destination contains accessible backup revisions.
A failed copy does not replace a verified independent backup.
Why this matters
The practical goal is a recoverable Duplicacy revision, not just a successful-looking progress indicator. Keep your source, backup destination, Backup ID and necessary credentials documented. If this workflow changes your retention or storage configuration, verify a restore before applying it to important data.
