    • Click the Job Retry tab to specify the job running time and the number of job retries. See Restarting Jobs and Job Running Time for more information.

      The Number of Retries specified for this particular job will only be used by the system if Auxiliary Copy was configured as a Restartable job type in the Job Management Control Panel. For procedures, see Specify Job Restartability for the CommCell.
