About Configuration Import/Export

You can use the Import/Export feature to copy configurations between appliances. Import/Export is not a backup tool, but can simplify the process of adding new appliances to your deployment.

You can export a single configuration, or you can export a set of configurations (of the same type or of different types) with a single action. When you later import the package onto another appliance, you can choose which configurations in the package to import.

An exported package contains revision information for that configuration, which determines whether you can import that configuration onto another appliance. When the appliances are compatible but the package includes a duplicate configuration, the system offers resolution options.
