copy a vm backup from one data store to another

How do I copy one vm backup data store to a different one



copy vm/106 from Backup to geekscove

Hi, to do so you can use a local pull sync job [0]. The sync job allows to define a group filter for the backup groups you want to sync, excluding others.

The gui seems cryptic like the console command, all I want to do is copy vm/106 from backup to geekscove within the same data store
when I try the GUI and when I do a pull the only item that shows is geekscove not the Backup

Since this is a pull sync job, you define it on the target datatstore (geekscove in your case). You then select Backup as your source datastore and add a group filter to include only vm/106.

Edit: You could do it as a push sync job as well, that requires however to setup a remote pointing to localhost, as sync jobs in push direction behave a bit differently as pull ones.

Thank you very much think (Hope it works)
