Which machine performs the operation?
Copying, moving or deleting a backup from any location is initiated by the agent that created the backup, and is performed:
By that agent, if the location is not a managed vault.
By the corresponding storage node, if the location is a managed vault.
As follows from the above description, the operation will be performed only if the machine with the agent is powered on. If the operation is scheduled, the schedule will use that machine's date and time.
