Dynamic File Services allows you to export and import a policy configuration to make it easier to set up management on multiple computers. You can set up multiple policies in the Management Console on one computer, then export them to .xml files. The default name of the exported file is the same as the policy name.
You can import a policy on another computer to automatically set it up there. If you manage the two computers from the same Management Console, the file is easily exported and imported between the multiple computers by exporting to a local folder. You can also copy the exported .xml file to a different computer and import it there.
In the Management Console, connect to the DynamicFS server that you want to manage.
Under the folder for the server, right-click the policy, then select .
You can also select the policy, then select > > .
Browse to the location on the local computer where you want to save the file, specify a name for the file, then click .
By default, the policy is exported as a .xml file and the file name is the same as the policy name.
Continue with Section 9.11.2, Importing a Policy.

You can import policies that were created in an earlier major release, such as from Dynamic File Services 1.6 to 2.0. Policy schedules are configured separately in Dynamic File Services 2.0 and later versions. The Frequency settings for an imported policy are ignored. After you import the policy, ensure that you assign a policy schedule to it if you want the policy to run automatically.
