How to: Import Backup Jobs from Previous Versions
The First time you run GBM 8.0 it will scan for Backup jobs from older versions and will prompt the user whether or not would like to import. However, you can manually import from selecting Import Previous Jobs from the File menu in the toolbar, then follow the on-screen instructions. This imports job configurations, settings, and unattended scheduled tasks, but it will not import catalog records for version 6.0.
Only backup jobs created using Genie Backup Manager 6.0 and 7.0 can be imported, and the first execution of a backup job after it has been imported from version 6.0 will run as a full "Normal" backup, regardless of the backup type selected and also mirror and incremental with rollback disabled backups created in version 7.0, to ensure consistency; backup jobs imported from GBM 7.0 will continue running without reverting to full backup
