Question
After a fault in the primary site, a customer now has their secondary site as the production site, which is running backups. After some time, the former primary site is restored with its backup repository still intact and containing older but valid backups. To comply with the 3-2-1-1-0 rule, a backup copy to the first site must be performed. Which is the best approach to ensure the first copy will be as quick as possible?
Options
- ARe-initialize the target repository to start fresh and get better write performance.
- BSet a lower retention for the backup copy job so less data will be copied.
- CUse backup copy job mapping to use the old backup data as seed.
- DUse WAN accelerators to optimize the data transfer size.

Explanation
The quickest way to get your first copy up-to-date is to seed it from the existing backups already sitting in that repository. By using backup copy job mapping, Veeam will detect and "map" the old backup files as the job's seed, so only the new deltas actually need to be transferred. This avoids copying the full chain over the network and gets your copy job caught up in minimal time.
