Creating a copy-only backup (legacy SQL Server policies)
Any backup can be created as copy-only. An Instant Recovery backup is automatically created as copy-only. For legacy SQL Server policies, set the COPYONLY TRUE setting in the backup batch file. For SQL Server Intelligent Policies, enable on the Microsoft SQL Server tab.
To create a copy-only backup
- Open an existing batch file in a text editor.
- Insert the following:
COPYONLY TRUE
- Save the batch file.
