A CPS backup job can contain one or more CPS job pairs. At the most basic level, a job pair is a one-to-one relationship between a single source server and single destination server.
In the case of a CPS backup job containing four Business Servers backing up to a single Protection Server, the following job pairs exist:
In CPS, the job represents the process that maintains the activity of each of the specific job pairs. You can view properties and change the status of an active job. The CPS job controls the job pairs and reflects what the job is supposed to be doing. The job pair states, however, reflect what is actually occurring.
