Enabling Frequent (Timely) Replication of Backup Jobs Completed during an Auxiliary Copy Operation

You can enable the replication of backup jobs completed during an auxiliary copy operation. Refer Why is Auxiliary Copy job getting queued? for details. However, the new backup jobs will be copied at the end of an auxiliary copy operation only after the successful replication of the jobs already present in the current iteration.

For better performance and efficiency, you can enable the feature to check for any backup jobs completed during an auxiliary copy operation at defined time interval, and include them in the replication. The backup jobs will be picked up for replication based on the availability of streams needed for copying. The time interval to check for new jobs is preconfigured as 45 minutes which can be modified.

For this feature to work, ensure that the Use Scalable Resource Allocation option is selected in the Auxiliary Copy Job Options window displayed during auxiliary copy execution.
