Importing current sites

The Import page displays the list of exported files for sites. You can import site data from a previously exported file. Each site can have several versions of exported data identifiable by their time stamps; the time stamp of the export operation is used to create a directory under which the exported file is located.

To import sites:

1. Specify the import options in the Preferences page.

2. Before importing a site, you must first remove the site from the control panel. To remove a site:

1. On the left navigation panel, in the Sites section, click List Sites.

2. On the Sites page, click the option button corresponding to that site, and click the Remove tab.

3. Click OK.

4. To confirm the removal of the site, go to the Sites page, and verify that the name of the site is not displayed in the list of the sites.

2. Go to the Import page.

   On the left navigation panel, in the Sites section, click Import Sites.

   On the left navigation panel, in the Sites section, click Import Sites.

3. Select the check boxes corresponding to the sites that you want to import.

4. Click Import. The sites are imported into the control panel.

5. To verify the import process:

1. On the left navigation panel, in the Sites section, click List Sites.

2. On the Sites page, check whether the sites you have imported are displayed in the list of sites.

After the site is imported:

- New log folders are created with the site's new ID.

- A default zone is created for the site; the SOA (start of authority) serial number does not match that of the original site.

- If the site is IP based, a new IP address is selected for the site automatically.
