Fetch backup plans from former computer

    I have just purchased a new computer (Windows 11). I want to use the backup plans from my previous computer (Windows 10). I do not have access to those plans. I did save the plans with my backups, but I cannot seem to find out where they are.

    I have looked at some other posts. I have specifically looked here.

    I go to the Online Backup Server program on my desktop. I look at each of the two backups that I did from the older computer, one to a personal External Hard Drive, and another to the Cloud (Backblaze). This has worked great for restoring data. However, I do not see the "Configuration Folder" referred to the above post. What am I doing wrong?

    Are you using Managed Backup for Windows? What version agent are you running?

    Hello Bill!

    If you were using backup formats that is not marked as legacy you can restore the backup plan from the storage via clicking RMB on the name of the backup plan and selecting option Restore backup plan.

    The configuration folder that was mentioned by David appears only if you are using backups that are marked as Legacy.

    Sorry, I do not know what "clicking RMB on the name of the backup plan" means. I have tried left click, right click, enter, drill down and click all of these. I get no option that says Restore Backup Plan.

    I am fairly certain that I am not using Legacy.
