    Use this KB - https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH184683.html

    Ideally, to export one definition, you should use -

    Get-BEBackupDefinition –name <definition name> |  Export-BEBackupDefinition > c:\<somename>.ps1

    But you used

    Get-BEBackupDefinition | Export-BEBackupDefinition > script.ps1

    You can see the difference in the two cmdlets.

    And for the import, insert the agent server for which you want the backup definition to be applied to.

    An easier way instead of using BEMCLI would be to run an inplace upgrade from BE 2014 to BE 15 and this will carry forward the existing jobs and settings as well.
