I am not seeing any option to export the jobs. Am I missing something here? I dont want to use Configuration backup option just to export job configuration. There has to be a simple way to export the jobs or an enhancement should be raised to include this in future releases.

Hi
As Chris shared, there is no native way to do this within VBR. Personally, I wish there was myself as I needed this last Fall. You could post in the Forum a feature request to have this added.
The only other way to do this is via PoSH from the Veeam github. A script was written 5yrs ago by Veeam Vanguard Joe Houges. I’ve not tried it myself so can’t comment on its success or not. But I will say I trust Joe’s PoSH skills very highly. You can download it from the link below:

+21This is included in the configuration backup. There is no way to export just a job but you can use PowerShell to get job settings from what I remember. If you want to raise this as an enhancement the the forums is where to do it - https://forums.veeam.com

+20No problem...glad to help.
I’m afraid ths PS script will not work as-is, because Veem PS Snapin was deprecated some years ago, and now it’s been replaced by Veeam PowerShell Module, so this script will need some refresh to work
From CHATGPT below…..
Correct/agree?
you can export Veeam jobs and settings from one Veeam Backup & Replication server and import them into another server running the same version of Veeam. The process involves backing up the configuration of the original Veeam server and restoring it on the new server.
Here are the general steps:
.bco file..bco file (usually saved in the default Veeam backup repository or a specified location)..bco file you transferred from the original server.This method will help replicate the jobs and settings from one server to another efficiently.

+17The process described in your chatgpt output will migrate tje whole Veeam database from one server to another, not only the job configuration.
This is not the same as the initial question.
