Workaround:

- Change the schedule before exporting the Job Definition and then afterwards adjust the schedule back to its original configuration

- Migrate the affected job manually

When exporting Backup Exec Backup Job Definition via PowerShell (Export-BEBackupDefinition) where the job schedule is configured by either selecting specific days or dates via Calendar, the value for Schedule will not be defined within the Export script. Either of these scheduling options will cause this issue:

• Selected days of the month
• Selected dates of the month

The export script will show the Schedule as not configured Schedule =
Here is an example when the Schedule is exported correctly (this job is scheduled to run every week on a Friday at 11pm). Schedule = New-BESchedule -WeeklyEvery "Friday" -StartingAt "01/28/2021 23:00:00" -Every 1

When the Schedule is not specified within the export script, then this job definition cannot be imported because of the missing schedule.
