Backup job template is a predefined configuration or template that specifies the settings and parameters for performing a backup job. It serves as a blueprint or framework for creating consistent and standardized backup jobs across multiple systems or environments.
By using backup job templates, administrators can save time and effort by creating consistent backup configurations, reducing the risk of errors and ensuring that all necessary data is protected according to a predefined backup strategy.

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.
