DS-User F1 Help for GUI (Context-Sensitive) : Export DS-Client configuration to XML
 
Export DS-Client configuration to XML
• Windows DS-Clients: The “Export to XML” feature is not supported for Local DS-VDR or Permissions-Only backup sets.
Use this dialog box to export the DS-Client configuration, schedules, retention rules, and backup sets to an XML file named “config-update.xml”.
 
Options
• DS-Client Configuration: exports all settings from the DS-Client Configuration dialog box tabs (Setup, Defaults, Notification, SNMP, Parameters, Connections, Roles).
• Backup Schedules: Exports all (or selective) Backup Schedules from the DS-Client.
• Retention Rules: Exports all (or selective) Retention Rules from the DS-Client.
• Backup Sets: Exports all (or selective) backup sets from the DS-Client. [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.]

Expands or collapses the list in the Options window.
Meta Symbol
(Windows DS-Client only)
Select to use a Meta Symbol wherever necessary. This will allow the XML file to be used interchangeably in different localization environments.
• For example: An XML configuration file made from an English installation of DS-Client will also work for a German DS-Client installation.
Current Meta Symbols:
• %ComputerName% - the DS-Client computer name.
• %MSNetProvider% - the string representing the Microsoft Network Provider that is different depending on the localization of the operating system.
Include Encryption Keys
(Configuration must be selected)
Select to include the DS-Client Encryption Key and Account Encryption Key in the XML file (they will be encrypted).
Save As
Click to save the selected items to an XML file.
• To use this file, make sure it is named “config-update.xml”, and place it in the folder containing the DS-Client service.
