Hello,
You can use the "Copy Media Server Configurations":
Since you want to move configuration information from one media server to another you can use the “Copy Media Server Configurations” and “Apply Copied Media Server Configuration” from the BEUTILITY.
To use these features you should install the “Copy Media Server Configuration” option during the installation of Backup Exec application.
Copy Media Server Configuration enables you to copy the configuration information for a media server to a configuration file that can be stored on hard drive location on your network. Using this configuration file, you can then apply the media server's configuration information to other media servers in your environment.
Configuration information that can be copied includes all:
- Jobs, including backup, restore, and report jobs.
-Policies, templates and selection lists
- Logon information
- Media sets
- Other information such as job defaults, error handling rules, alert configuration and
default schedule data.
To copy a media server configuration:
1. Start BEUtility. You can run BEutility by running BEUtility.exe located in C:\Program Files\Veritas\Backup Exec\NT folder.
2. Select a media server from either a media server group or from the All Media Servers
subnode.
3. On the task pane, under Services Tasks, click Copy Media Server Configuration.
Copy Media Server Configuration
4. Enter user name and password credentials to the media server listed in the Media
server field.
5. Enter the path to a target folder in which to store the configuration file, or click
Browse to navigate to a target folder.
6. Enter a name for the configuration file. Include the file name extension, cfg.

For example, C:\Datatemp\Eng_1.cfg
7. Click OK.
8. After the copy operation completes, click Close.
Note The Copy Media Server Configuration operation may take longer to run on some
media servers that on others, as the time required to complete the operation
depends on the amount of configuration information contained at a media server.
Now to apply the configurations to the new Media server use the “Apply Copied Media Server Configuration” on the new media server by running the BEUtility.exe
Apply Copied Media Server Configuration enables you to apply the media server
configuration information that was copied using the task Copy Media Server Configuration to other media servers in your Backup Exec environment.
1. Start BEUtility.
2. Select a media server from either a media server group or from the All Media Servers
subnode. The target media server will be the computer at which you will apply the
copied media server configuration information.
3. On the task pane, under Services Tasks, click Apply Copied Media Server
Configuration.
Apply Copy Media Server Configuration
4. Enter user name and password credentials to the media server listed in the Media
server field.
5. Enter the path to the target folder where a media server configuration file resides, or
click Browse to navigate to the target folder.
6. Enter the name of a configuration file you want to use to apply configuration
information to the media server.
For example, C:\Datatemp\Eng_1.cfg
7. Click OK.
8. After the apply operation completes, click Close.
