Starting a copy job

Once you have set up all the copy options, you can test and then run the copy job. Once the job has run, you can view statistics and run reports on the results. You also can schedule copy jobs to run at preset times.
NOTE: Before running a job, click Test on the Tool Bar to test the job to see if any errors are generated. Alternatively, click Test this job on the Job Summary page, choose File | Test, or right-click a job in the Jobs list, and then choose Test from the shortcut menu. No files are copied during the test.
NOTE: To maximize the performance of Secure Copy, you can set various options on the Performance page to increase the number of copy threads used. See Maximizing copy performance.

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.

NOTE: For the resume option, Secure Copy will generate more read requests against the storage. Thus, starting copy from scratch for very large volumes is recommended as an approach.
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
