The Vault Data Transfer Utility supports importing and exporting various Vault behaviors and entity types.
However, it does not support all of the behaviors and entity types that Vault provides. The following tables show which entities
and behaviors the Vault Data Transfer Utility supports for exporting and importing. In regards to Vault settings and administrative
configurations, the Vault Data Transfer Utility is compared in the chart with the Vault command in the ADMS console.
Conseil For users who plan to export a package from Vault, it is recommended that you also export the Vault configuration file. As
shown below, using both methods ensures an almost identical vault to the original.
Export a Vault Configuration
- In the Vault ADMS Console, select the Vault that you will export from using the Vault Data Transfer Utility.
- In the Actions drop-down menu, select the command.
- Provide a name and location for the configuration file.
- Create the export package using the Vault Data Transfer Utility.
- In the new location open the Vault ADMS console and create a new Vault.
- Give the Vault a new name and select Use a custom configuration file. Browse to the location where you saved the configuration
(.cfg) file. Select OK to create the new Vault.
- Use the Vault Data Transfer Utility to import the package file into the vault created in the previous step.
