Applying Backup Jobs

You can apply backup jobs to the resource targets that have Veritas System Recovery installed.

Note:

If you have two backup jobs, each job has the recovery point set options pointing to the same drives, when the job is assigned to the client computer, the Apply Backup Job operation fails with no generated errors.
