We are in a process of replacing DC and our Backup Exec 2010 is located on it. I would rather not have to rebuild all the jobs that we have in it now, my question is, is there a way to export them out and import them into newly installed Backup Exec 2010? Or would i have to re-create all the jobs?
Thanks!
