Replying to myself.... Honestly there should be built in Job. It's at
least as import as "Transcode" and "Commercial Flagging". A built in
Job named "Backup Recording" or "Copy Recording" would be awesome.
Could even be made a bit more complex allowing a backend -> backend
copy with meta-data.... Separate backend instances sharing programs
... mmmm... I think I know why it's not built in now. We should delete
this thread immediately.
