Exporting the DS-Client configuration to an XML file
You can export the current DS-Client configuration, schedules, retention rules, and backup sets to an XML file named config-update.xml, which you can use for two purposes:
• To deploy and configure a large number of DS-Clients. For more information, see the DS-Client Mass Deployment Guide.
Windows DS-Clients: Use Java DS-User to export.
NOTE: The "Export to XML" feature is not supported for Local DS-VDR, Lotus Domino Server, or Permissions-Only backup sets.
Linux / Mac DS-Clients: Use Java DS-User to export.
1. Click Setup > Export to XML. The Export DS-Client configuration to XML screen appears.
2. Select the options to export:
• DS-Client Configuration: Exports all settings from the DS-Client Configuration screen tabs (Setup, Defaults, Notification, SNMP, Parameters, Connections, Roles).
• Backup Schedules: Exports all (or selective) Backup Schedules.
• Retention Rules: Exports all (or selective) Retention Rules.
• Backup Sets: Exports all (or selective) backup sets.
NOTE: Recovered ‘orphaned’ backup sets that have not been ‘migrated’ (or had their backup information for connection, backup items, and schedule re-specified) cannot be exported.
• Meta Symbol (Windows DS-Client only): Select to use a Meta Symbol wherever necessary in the “config-update.xml” file. You can use the XML file to be used for DS-Clients on different localized operating systems.
• Include Encryption Keys: Select to include DS-Client and Account Keys in the XML file (they will be encrypted).
3. Click Save As to save the XML file.
