You can export/import configurations and data that are collected from a Belden Horizon Data Manager instance from the Export/Import module. This is intended to back up and restore a Belden Horizon Data Manager configuration for a different deployment environment or hardware platform. Export configuration files or data files may use encryption by adding a user-defined password. You can upload configuration files or data files from your hard drive.

The Export/Import module also shows the latest export/import operation logs with an option to auto scroll.

You can download an instance configuration from the Export Configuration section in the Export / Import module. Configuration files are password protected and generated as a .tar file. Process logs are visible in the Log section.
