13.1 Export configurations
You can export a copy of your GFI Network Server Monitor configuration settings, including
checks, folders alert settings, users/groups and general parameters to a specified XML file. This
function can be used to backup your current configuration settings or to use the same
configuration settings on another computer running GFI Network Server Monitor (e.g. to avoid
reconfiguration when changing the computer on which GFI Network Server Monitor is running).
The Export Configuration function will export all configuration settings present in the
GFI Network Server Monitor setup EXCEPT THE LICENSE KEY.
To export your configuration settings:
1. Go on File > Export Configurations.
Screenshot 155 - Export Configuration settings
2. Specify the location where the exported XML file will be placed (e.g. C:\Program
Files\GFI\configBackup.xml) or click on „Browse‟ to search for the location.
3. Click on „OK‟ to save the file.
13.2 Import configurations
You can import all configuration settings (except for the license key) of another GFI Network
Server Monitor setup (e.g., from another server) by using the Import configuration function. This
function conveniently avoids having to re-configure the settings of GFI Network Server Monitor
when you need to change the computer on which your current version of GFI Network Server
Monitor is running.
Since importing a configuration will overwrite all your current configuration settings,
we strongly recommend that you export a copy of your current configuration settings
and keep it as a backup.
1. Go on File > Import Configurations.
