What are copy jobs? Copy jobs are combinations of directories and files that are selected as well as any of the options (including filters) that go along with that specific copy job. Copy jobs differ from backup jobs in that they result in the exact same set of files being "copied" or transferred to the destination device including: Hard Disk, Network Drive, CD or DVD, and online storage. Note: Copy jobs DO NOT permit the use of tape.
