Feature Request - Copy a existing Backup Job

[pierre.mahler]

It would be a cool feature if you could copy an existing job.
If problems arise with a repo, the jobs can simply be copied and configured on a new repo.

Without having to read the objects via PowerShell and add them back to a new job via PowerShell.

Hi Pierre-Alain,

Am correct that you're looking for an ability to save job configuration, including the entire scope of object included/excluded from a job, and apply it to a newly created job?

There's a small life hack that can help already today. You can switch your existing jobs to either another healthy repository or a new temporary/empty one (do not run it, just change the target and save the job) while you're adding a new healthy repo or fixing the old one. Once your new production repository is ready, just edit the job again and change the target. Makes sense?

Hi Polina,

Thanks for your Feedback.

Exactly, the function to duplicate a backup job would be great.
This would allow you to perform tests more quickly or create a backup to a new repository/storage medium if the current repository has a problem or you want to quickly create a new backup at a different location with the same backup scope.

There are support cases where this would help quickly. Without changing the current job, so that you can still switch back to the old job if in doubt.

Noted, thanks!
