Export selected elements

You can export most kinds of individual elements.

You cannot export some kinds of elements, such as administrator accounts and certificates. To export an element that references an element that cannot be exported, you must first manually create a corresponding element that has the same name as the referenced element. Otherwise, the export fails.

To protect sensitive data in exports, export .zip files are automatically encrypted in FIPS mode. If you have defined an export banner, the text of the banner is added at the beginning of each exported XML file to indicate that the export contains sensitive or classified data.
