I currently have one job running once at the end of day and a backup copy job pushing it to AWS after it’s don.  Is there a way to backup more than once a day but only have the backup copy job run on the last backup job of the day?  This is to make sure we don’t lose a whole day’s worth of work if something goes wrong.

If you schedule the copy job to run after the last run on the main job sure.  If the copy runs after the other job it will run multiple times.

Use a “periodic copy” job. Schedule it at the end of the day.

It will only copy the most recent restore point during its scheduled session.

Hi ​@Yikes123 

as already mentioned by ​@Mildur 

Yes, it is absolutely possible to configure this. To do so, you need to use a Periodic Backup Copy Job instead of continuous mode (Immediate Copy), scheduling it to run only once a day, after the last local backup.
