Export-BEBackupDefinition Cmdlet
Exports a backup definition's job settings to a PowerShell script.
Exports a backup definition's job settings to a PowerShell
script.
The script that Export-BEBackupDefinition generates is synonymous
to a job policy in previous releases of Backup Exec.
The script can be used to create new backup jobs for additional
agent servers and backup selections using the same job settings
that were contained in the original backup definition.
Since the script is self-contained, it can be run on other Backup
Exec servers.
In order to run the generated script, PowerShell's execution policy
must set to a value that is less restrictive than AllSigned (e.g.
RemoteSigned). For more information, see Get-Help
Set-ExecutionPolicy.

You can pipe a backup definition object to Export-BEBackupDefinition
Export-BEBackupDefinition returns a PowerShell script capable of recreating the backup definition's job settings.
These commands export the job settings of a backup definition
named "Backup 01" to a PowerShell script file named
"ExportedBackup01.ps1". The script file is then used to back up the
C:\Users directory of a server named "myserver.mycompany.com" using
the same job settings that were in the backup definition named
"Backup 01".
Since the script file is self-contained, it can be copied to and
run from a different Backup Exec server.
