DBA-initiated job templates

Last published : Apr 02, 2026
When you create a DBA-initiated backup operation, you can specify the default job template in Backup Exec. You can also specify a new job template that you create in Backup Exec. The job template contains the settings that Backup Exec applies to DBA-initiated jobs.
Make sure that the name of the job template that you want to use is also configured in the instance information on the Windows computer.
