Is there a way to duplicate backup jobs?

[packdragon]

I'm making changes to our backup strategy, which will include creating new but similar jobs. Is there a way to create a copy of an existing job so I won't have to go in and manually recreate all the selections? I'm using 8.5.

I think you need 8.6 to do this. but you can try it ...

Click on the Backup button at the top of the console.
Click on the selections tab.
Use the Select Names List.... option to pick the existing job you want to base the new job on?

(Though I'm sure this was a feature added to 8.6 ... and guess what 8.5 to 8.6 is a pay for upgrade
