Restarting a copy job

If power is lost during a copy job, Secure Copy does not remember the last file it copied. You need to restart the job once power is restored. If the job is scheduled to run each night, the job will run at the next scheduled time.
If the copy job stops, you can restart the job without recopying the files already copied.
To restart a copy job
1 Click Jobs, and expand the job.
2 Click Synchronization.
3 Select Copy Only Changed Source Files to Target.
4 Click Run to start the job again.
