Q: How to verify copy jobs?

[Justin Case]

Hi there,

I am planning to switch to using copy jobs to create the tier 2 backup (instead of backup jobs from the original source). I realized that the copied job on tier 2 storage has the exact same name as the job on tier 1 from which it was copied. (both tiers are using volume files on HDDs)

I am now unclear how I can schedule verify jobs for the tier copies. Previously I used the name of the tier 2 back up to identify the job that should be verified. Now the tier 2 copy job has the same name as the tier 1 backup job. How do I discern them when scheduling (I could not use the job IDs as there are not known when the verify job is scheduled).

Any ideas how to achieve this?

Thanks for considering my question,
J/C

Does nobody here verify their copied jobs? Is verification of job copies even possible with bareos?

Best,
