Change the Job Priority of an Immediate Job

Before You Begin

• The job priorities of an auxiliary copy, data protection, and data recovery operations can be changed.
• The lower the job priority number, the higher priority the job.
• A job with a higher priority will be allocated with resources before a job with a lower priority.
• A job with a higher priority can only interrupt another job if that job is allowed to preempt the job.
• The priority of a data protection operation can be changed after it is scheduled.
