You can use this command to export the Backup Target sets to a binary file.

nvsetexport -type BT -file BackupTarget.sets

You can run this command for each type of set in NetVault. Here is a list of all the types of sets and the what to put in the -type part of the command to export them.

'BS' (Backup selections)
'BO' (Backup selection options)
'S' (Schedule)
'BT' (Backup Target options)
'AB' (Advanced Backup Options
'RS' (Restore selections)
'AR' (Advanced Restore Options)

You can then transfer this file to another backup server and import it using this command.

Nvsetimport -file BackupTarget.sets

If there is already a set by the name it is trying to import, it will fail for that set.
