Exporting / importing jobs

[marius roma]

Due to problem not related to Veeam we are in trouble while upgrading from B&R 7 to B&R 9, so we are considering uninstalling B&R and deleting the related SQL DB and installing B&R 9 from scratch.
If we perfotrm such operation, can we export the current jobs, save then anywhere and re-import in the new environment?

Hi Marius,

If it was a migration between same versions, I’d recommend you the configuration backup but since your goal is to install newer version that would not help. Though, you can import/export backups and then map it to the newly created jobs.

Thank you for your message.
What do you mean "Import/export" backups?
What is the procedure to do that?
Does it allow exporting and importing settings 8like schedule) as well?

Hi,

What do you mean "Import/export" backups?

You can import an existing backup into your VBR console and map the job to a specific backup stored on the backup repository. Backup job mapping can be helpful if you have moved backup files to a new backup repository and want to point the job to existing backups on this new backup repository. You can also use backup job mapping if the configuration database got corrupted and you need to reconfigure backup jobs.

Does it allow exporting and importing settings 8like schedule) as well?

There is a separate procedure for that.

Thank you.

Actually, if your v7 installation was patched to Patch 4 and you have a valid configuration backup, you can import it into the newly installed v9 just fine.
