Hello,
Thanks fo your answer.

But in the new pc, I will not have a list of backup job ?
How to transfer the list of job ?
Should I must re create all the job ?

Thanks for help.

Hi,

On the old PC you can create a backup with the FBackup configurations (including backup jobs and schedulers).
To do that, follow these steps:
1. Open FBackup.
2. Go to File->New
3. Select a backup destination and press Next.
4. On sources page, select "FBackup configurations" under Applications and press Next
5. On the last step, enter the name for that backup job.
6. Press Save->Save and run.


To restore the backup jobs on the new PC you have multiple possibilities.
A. Restore the FBackup configurations.
1. Install FBackup.
2. Go to File->Open.
3. Select the .fkc catalog file from the backup destination and open it in FBackup.
4. Press Restore. All backup jobs will be restored.

B. Manually open the backup jobs from destination.
1. Install FBackup.
2. Go to File->Open.
3. Select all .fkc catalog files from the backup destination.
4. That will bring all jobs in FBackup.

Thanks for your answer. I'm ready

Hi,

I'm glad you were able to follow the steps.

Is there a way to automate the process of backing up and restoring these backup jobs when moving to a new computer?
Thank you!

Hi,

There are two options to move your backup jobs to a new computer.

1. On the new computer, open in FBackup the .fkc catalog files from the backup destination. That will load all backup jobs in FBackup.

2. Run a backup of the FBackup configurations on the old computer and open it on the new computer. Then restore it on the new computer.
