JobDefs resource

A JobDefs resource is a template of default directives that Job resources inherit, so you don’t repeat yourself. A JobDefs accepts every directive that a Job accepts; a Job that references it with JobDefs = "name" can then override any individual directive.

JobDefs {
  Name = "DefaultBackup"
  Type = Backup
  Level = Incremental
  Storage = File1
  Pool = FilePool
  Messages = Standard
  Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
}

Job {
  Name = "BackupClient1"
  JobDefs = "DefaultBackup"
  Client = client1-fd
  FileSet = "client1"
}

See the complete directive list in the Job resource reference.
