Export the settings of a desktop or server group to a .dat file to back up the settings. You can also use the .dat file to import the settings to another group.
You can import/export settings between desktop and server groups. Settings are not dependent on group type. You can also use the Replicate Settings feature, although this feature is dependent on the group type. For details about the Replicate Settings feature, see Replicating Settings.
The
settings that can be imported and exported depend on whether you
chose the Security Groups Tree icon () or a
particular desktop/server group.
