Migrating configured backup jobs between XO from sources
-
I've noticed configured backup jobs exist only in the XO version they were configured in. Is there a way to share those jobs or migrate them without manually removing them from the original and setting them up from scratch on the new XO from sources?

Hi,
Before answering anything, here is my favorite question: what problem are you trying to solve?

Good question - my problem would be resolved with a manual update of XO (from sources) to current commit level. I don't recall how I installed the older XOs I have and they are 645 commits behind on commit 49089. If it is simple to update XO from sources, that would be ideal. I'm wondering though why backup jobs aren't part of the metadata/config of the pool.

Update should work, it's easy (
git pull && yarn && yarn build). You can export your config in worst case, and re-import it easily. -

This, just build a new XO installation, and from the existing outdated system export the configuration and import it into your new installation.
If for some reason you were keeping the old version around, be sure to disable the backup jobs at a minimum.
