Editing an S3 Object Storage Backup

Editing an S3 Object Storage backup job allows you to change some parameters of an already defined job (Save), or to create a new job based on the definition of an existing one (Save as…). The procedure is similar to creating a backup job from scratch.

1. In the main web interface view, go to Job Manager in the sidebar. Then select the S3 object storage backup job you want to edit from the list.

Tip. You can control this view by ordering items by Job Name, Type, Created Date, Description, or Job Folder. Just click the column header to enable ascending/descending ordering.

Note also the Items per page value and navigation buttons at the bottom of the list, which can be useful when managing the display of many jobs.

1. Make all required changes to the job definition. The workflow is the same as in Creating an S3 Object Storage Backup.

2. Save the job by clicking Save (the changes will be saved under the current job’s name, overwriting previous settings), or Save as… (you will be prompted to provide a new name for the job).

Restrictions. The new job name must be unique throughout the entire DPX, regardless of the folder the job is stored in.

Note. If you change the destination pool, the first instance of the job will be run as a base backup.
