2. Export / Import

In the view “Export/Import” you have the opportunity to export or import the whole ConPresso database. The database will be exported in the XML format.

These functions make it easier to move your project from one server to another. Besides copying the files in the file system all you have to do is export and import the database. The use of special database administration tools is not required. Data related to modules you might have installed will be exported and imported as well.

[Note]Note

This function is not intended as a backup function. For backing up the file system and the database please use special backup solutions that perform this task automatically at regular intervals.
