Moving a backup job to a different backup destination

Backup jobs can be moved to a different backup destination after they have been created.

Moving a job between backup destinations does not delete the data from the original backup destination. Instead, after the backup destination has been changed and the job has run, a dialog box is displayed informing the user of the change. The user can launch Windows Explorer to display the root folder of the original backup destination. In the Explorer window, the user can delete the job data manually or leave it there. Also, when a backup destination resides on a remote computer, the admin share is used as a path to this folder.
