Manage Backup Templates
Export Template in Backup Agent
You can export all settings and backup/restore plans from one Managed Backup agent instance and then re-use (import) this backup template (formerly configuration) on another backup agent instance.
- Run Managed Backup on the computer you want to export the template from.
- Under Tools, click Export template.
- Select the required backup plans.
- Select Include encryption passwords for backup and restore plans in the template to export if some of the plans have encryption.
- Select a location to save the backup template.
- Click Export.
You can select all plans, or exclude plans that are no longer needed.
The template will be saved as a .cbbconfiguration file to the specified location.
You should transfer this file to a location available to the other product instance.
Import Template in Backup Agent
Launch the Managed Backup Agent instance where you want to apply the exported template. Check whether all cloud backup storages used are added to this backup agent instance. Add any that are missing.
Only local backup storage targets can be imported. Cloud backup storages should be added manually.
Under Tools, click Import template.
Navigate to the template file location. Click Import.
For plans with encryption, you need to enter the encryption passwords.
