I have this working now. The script is below, as per Bill's script with an extention. It is called from a Runscript as "Command = /full-path/run-copy-job.sh copy-job-name". There is a copy job defined for each backup job. The $1 parameter passes the copy job name to the script.
#!/bin/bash #usage run-copy-job.sh job-name # Pipe the run command to bconsole # -------------------------------- echo "run yes job=$1" | bconsole This all works fine. The disadvantage is that the copy job hard codes the level to be copied so the same copy job (in my case full) runs irrespective of the job being incr/diff/full. For "selection type=PoolUncopiedJobs" this is only a minor issue since already copied jobs are skipped.
