    They have to be the same version.

    - I would backup the express DB on the 6.1.
    - Build a lab server to match the exact 6.1** version. When doing the install for the lab point to an existing database (the restored version from 6.1 production).
    - Once your lab machine has all the 6.1 jobs, perform a 6.9** upgrade on the lab server.
    - Now you can export them as bin's and import them in the production 6.9.

    ** Make sure the SP and MP levels match production for 6.1 and 6.9

    Nice thing about doing it this way is the original servers are left intact.

    Just use Vmware convert to convert the physical server into a virtual one, and then follow the steps above.
    That will help you very easy without the task of rebuilding a complete server that takes hours.

    Using VMware to grab existing production is a great idea.
