DNS Manager lets you export the entire database in XML format. At the same time you can import an XML file with your backup. You can use the XML export / import options for backup or migration purposes.
XML export
To export the database in XML format, go to the Server Settings page and click the XML export button under Database.
Here's the information you can export as an administrator:
- Admins' accounts details
- Admins' accounts interface preferences
- Admins' accounts custom buttons
- Admins' DNS zones
- Admins' remote locations
- Global transfer IPs
- Global DNS templates
- Email templates
- Global SRV Records
- DNS Manager settings
- Default interface settings
- Login settings
- Global Access Policy
- Clients' accounts details
- Clients' settings
- Clients' remote locations
- Clients' DNS templates
- Clients' custom buttons
- Clients' interface settings
- Clients' DNS zones
XML import
An administrator account lets you import administrators, clients and zone accounts, but also global server settings from the XML file. The details of the existing administrators' and clients' account will be updated.
To import a database in XML format, go to the Server Settings page and click the XML import button under Database. Then press the Browse button to locate the backup file on your computer.
The accounts are identified through the login username.
When a new account is created using the import XML method, an email is automatically sent to the address found in the XML file (in the Account Details section). The email contains the new password for the newly created user. Then the account details of the existing client will be updated.
From the XML file, new zones are created. The records from existing zones are replaced with the records from the XML file. Zones that do not have any records will not be created.
The zones that are defined on the server will not be deleted if they do not exist in the XML file.
