Export-Settings
Exports the VPG details for both the Zerto Virtual Manager where the cmdlet is run and for its paired site.
Syntax
Export-Settings [-ZVMIP] <String> [-ZVMPort] <Int32> [-Username] <String> [-Password] <String> [-Wait <int32>] [<Common&RiskParameters>] |
Description
The Export-Settings cmdlet exports the details of all the VPGs, either protected or recovered to the site of the Zerto Virtual Manager where the cmdlet is run. When the Zerto Virtual Manager is paired with multiple sites the VPGs can be from any of these paired sites, as long as they were either protected or recovered to the site of the Zerto Virtual Manager where the cmdlet is run.
Parameters
[-ZVMIP] <String>
The IP address of the machine where the Zerto Virtual Manager is installed that is used to process the cmdlet.

Position? | 1 or named |
Default Value | None |
Accept Wildcard Characters? | False |
[-ZVMPort] <Int32>
The HTTP port used for inbound communication with the Zerto Virtual Manager for APIs and cmdlets, specified during the installation. The default port recommended during installation is 9080.
Required? | True |

Optional PowerShell Parameters.
Inputs and Outputs
The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet. The return type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet returns.
Inputs | None. |
Outputs | XML formatted text describing the exported VPGs from both the local and peer sites. |
Notes
■ To enable the result of the Export-Settings to be usable after upgrading Zerto Virtual Replication, you can pipe the output of the cmdlet to a file. This file will contain all the VPGs’ details in XML format, which can be imported later with the Zerto Diagnostics utility or the import-settings cmdlet.
■ When restoring the protection to the virtual machines, the target disks are used and, thus, the synchronization process is faster. The faster synchronization occurs because the recovery and protection disks are compared through the MD5 checksum and only changes are synchronized.

Example 1
PS C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0> Export-Settings 182.24.123.123 9080 administrator password > C:\ZertoUpgrade\Export.xml |
This command exports the details of every VPG on the site where the cmdlet is run and with its paired site. The details are exported to a file Export.xml in C:\ZertoUpgrade on the local computer where the cmdlet is run. The Zerto Virtual Manager site used to process the cmdlet runs on IP 182.24.123.123 and port 9080.
