[Feature Request] Export backup job configurations

Post by matsusan »

[Current Behavior]
Currently, Veeam does not have a native, supported feature to export backup job configurations.
To verify or document job settings, we cannot easily extract the configuration of some hundred jobs.
We know there are community PowerShell scripts available for exporting configurations, but they are unsupported and have limited functions.
Furthermore, there is no guarantee that it will continue to operate correctly in the future.

[Problem / Impact]
These limitations cause major challenge, especially in large-scale environments:

Auditing and Verifying Job Settings:
To verify and test the validity of multiple job configurations, we have to check them one by one in the GUI.
There is no way to export the configurations to a readable file to easily compare and audit them. This is very time-consuming.
Large enterprise customers have frequently requested this capability during their deployment and test phases.

[Request]
Add a native supported export feature for backup job configurations to VBR with the following capabilities:
- Ability to export backup job configurations individually or in groups.
- Export format can be a simple, readable file (like XML, JSON, or CSV).
- It should support both agent-based and agentless jobs. However, since these parameters differ, separate formats for each are acceptable.

Thanks,
Ryoma
