Using templates A template is a set of BACKUP Manager operation values that you supply once and save with a template name. Templates are useful for operations that you intend to perform on a regular basis. To create a template, fill in the fields on the BACKUP Manager Save screen, then choose "Save As ..." from the Templates menu. A dialog box appears and asks you to supply a template name of up to 31 characters. To use the values you supplied, choose "Open ..." from the Templates menu. Select the name that contains the values from the resulting list box. BACKUP Manager inserts the template values into the operation screen.
