"import metadata" when importing a job from json file?

[drwtsn32]

I think it’s answered in this post:

Importing backup configuration. Import metadata? Save immediately?

The skip metadata checkbox will avoid importing metadata such as when the backup was last run or how many restore points are available. If you’re copying the configuration into a new backup job you’ll want to import without metadata. The save immediately checkbox will create the backup job as soon as you click import. Without it you’ll be able to edit the job before creating it.
