How to backup "backup-jobs" ?

Is it possible to backup/export all backup-jobs in BE10?
I have a backup selection called "Fullbackup" and this selection has 10 backup jobs in it.

I wan´t to have a backup on this jobs so that I can import this job to a new server in the future.

Well, the jobs and selection lists are stored in the MSSQL database instance BKUPEXEC, which is dumped nightly, by default. You'll find this dump in the BackupExec subfolder ./Data, namely BEDB_Dat.bak.

If your backup selections include this file/folder, then you should also be able to restore the database dump onto another server (since BEWS 10.0 at least) and then recover the database via BEUtility from it. Alternatively, you can copy the file to a different server at any time, of course.

But don't trust my words, until you tried that procedure first.

HTH, Jonas
