I have run into an extremely frustrating problem with Backup Exec 16. The ability to create and save file server selection lists was apparently removed as it had existed in BE2010.
There is also apparently no way to simply copy all the settings of an existing backup job into a new job, including the file selection lists of the original job.
In the section "Backup and Restore", using "Create a new backup using the settings of an existing backup" does not include the file selections of the existing job. Instead it clears those selections and changes it to "Everything selected".
The only way I have found to transfer those settings is to:
This is ridiculous.
