Your best bet would be to come up with a custom sql query that selects
the incrementals you want, maybe something like
select jobid from Job ...... where .... AND Job.RealEndTime > NOW()
or similar (this is from memory).
Be warned though that copy jobs can blow up your catalogs and
databases to humongous sizes. At one point, we ended up with 1,2 *billion*
rows in the File table alone, so take a good look at your retention
times. We've sinced moved away completely from copy jobs and write the
full volumes to tape once a month (just the on-disk volumes).
Let me know if you need a complete example for the sql query, I hope
this puts you on your way.
All the best, Uwe
