Exporting and Importing Site Information

The Export CLI call allows you to capture and store the current state of a site. The Import CLI call allows you to restore a site to the state when it was exported. This feature allows you to restore the original state of a site in case the entire data or a specific service of that site is corrupted.

You can export and import a site with the following options:

Note: The configuration settings of a site refer to the options specified while adding or editing the site. For example, the Total number of zones option in the Microsoft DNS service component.

The service-specific data of a site refers to the options and the files or directories created and managed by the site administrator. For example, the name of the DNS zone created by the site administrator.

You can export and import site information using the ExportObj.exe and ImportObj.exe calls. Both calls use the same XML format for passing the parameters.
