Import or Export Policies

Overview

You can import or export all or specific policies in the JSON format for backup purposes or import policies to a new management server.

The supported policies for export and import are:

  • Threat Prevention

    • Global Exclusions

  • Data Protection

    • General

    • OneCheck

  • Data Protection

  • Access & Compliance

  • Client Settings

  • Deployment Policy > Software Deployment

Limitations

  • We recommend that you avoid modifying policies when you perform this procedure.

  • If an export or import fails, you must export or import the file again.

  • The import file must be in JSON format.

  • If you cancel an import in progress, then the system stops the import but does not revert the files that were imported prior to canceling the import..

Prerequisites

  • You must be an Administrator or a Power user to perform this procedure. The Help-desk and Read-only users have read-only access to the Export / Import your policy page. All the other users have no access view the Export / Import your policy page.

  • If you are importing policies, ensure that the package or blade version on the target server and in the import file are the same. Otherwise, the system sets the rules as Do Not Install.
