Delete a Job From a Copy

You can delete backup jobs from a copy as required.

If a job is deleted, by default the next job is forced to be a full backup, ensuring a consistent cycle that captures all available data. However, if an associated agent supports differential backups, then you can change the next job to be a differential backup by enabling the Convert next backup to differential when incremental/differential jobs are deleted configuration parameter. This reduces media consumption, as full backups contain large amounts of data.
