I was a backup admin for many years. Backing up and restoring data was my job (along with managing high-end arrays and server infrastructure), with the brief to backup anything and everything.

This included illegal ...

I would like to suggest adding allowing the BE administrator the ability to name  a manual duplicate job in Backup Exec 2012.    This would be very helpful. Instead of having a generic name such as Duplicate Backup Sets xxxxx, it would be helpful to name the job so that at a glance a few days later one can quickly see the manual job by what ever naming convention ...
