The configuration of a repository may be exported to a file. Exporting the configuration is useful for several purposes:
-
As a snapshot of the system's configuration at a point in time, such as before making major changes.
-
As a backup of the configuration in case of disaster.
-
To copy to another Meridian Enterprise Server computer for import.
The configuration is exported to several XML files that are contained in a compressed archive (.zip) file. The configuration contains the items listed in Import a Configuration.
To export the repository views, see Export Views .
To export the current configuration:
-
In Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console, in the Repositories group, click the name of the repository that you want to export.
The repository overview page appears.
-
Click Export.
The file Configuration_<RepositoryName>.zip is downloaded by your browser and you are prompted for what to do with it.
-
Save or open the file.
