Create New Backup Job Template

Configuration of backup jobs involves a series of steps to be followed. Every organization based on requirements sticks to a particular format of settings or chooses to customize. If the former is the case then you can use this feature from BDRSuite to create a backup job template. You will be able to make use of this template while configuring new backup jobs which require similar configuration settings as that of the already created template. Thus enabling you to skip steps every time you configure a backup.

In the VMware/Hyper-V/Windows page, choose the Backup tab and navigate to Manage Backup Job Template, and select Create New Backup Job Template
