Hi,
In order to Move Backup job configuration from one server to another, stop all the Backup-exec services on the old server including the SQL SERVER (BKUPEXEC).
Navigate to the x:\program files\symantec\backup exec...COPY DATA and CATALOGS to a flash drive or onto a network share.
Install the same version of backup-exec on a different server, once its installed run the live update and make sure its fully patched.
Then on the New Server open up the BEUTILITY.EXE that will be under X:\program files\symantec\backup exec on the new server
Launch that and click on yes on the warning
Then highlight All Media servers..you will see the New server name.
Right click on that and then click on copy database and then browse to the bedb_dat.mdf that will be in the data folder and again click on browse to pick up the log file called as bedb_log.ldf..click on ok on the warning and once that process is completed it will copy all the job conFigurations over to the New Media server.
In case if you want the catalog information too then copy the backed up catalogs folder in the default directory replacing the existing one and then go to the command prompt
X:\program files\symantec\backup exec and execute CATREBUILDINDEX -R and once that process is done..all the job configuration along with the catalogs will be imported into the new installation of backup-exec.
NOTE:This procedure is applicable only if the backup revisions are same on the servers.
