Import or Export a Management Server Configuration

You can use WatchGuard System Manager (WSM) to export your Management Server configuration file to a DVCP file. You can then use a text editor to open the file and view it. You can also import a saved DVCP configuration file to your Management Server.

A saved configuration file is not a substitute for a backup of your Management Server. For more information about how to back up your Management Server, see Back Up or Restore the Management Server Configuration.
