Backing up and restoring Core settings
You can back up Core setting information to a file, and later restore these settings if you have problems with the
Core machine or if you want to migrate those settings to a different machine. Information that gets backed up
includes repository metadata (such as the repository name, data path, and metadata path); machines protected in
the Core; replication relationships (targets and sources); which machines are configured for virtual standby; and
information about encryption keys.
This process restores the configuration settings only, not the data. Security information (such as authentication
