Export Package Location

On the Package Location tab of the Export Content dialog, you can change the location of the content package. M-Files names the files automatically according to the vault ID and timestamp, so that you can find the content package easily at a later time.

You can also modify the user account to be used. The user needs to have the rights to the specified saving location in order for the export to be successfully completed. The default selection is "Local System account".

Use replication via cloud storage

You can also use replication via a cloud storage location. When exported, the replication packages are locally encrypted with the AES-256 algorithm and then uploaded to the cloud storage location. When imported, the replication packages are downloaded from the cloud storage location and then decrypted locally. This functionality can be helpful when you are replicating data between different locations and want to be completely certain that only the appropriate persons can access the data.

Connection string

Use the Get button to obtain the connection string for the cloud storage location. Please make sure to use the same string for both export and import.

User-specified folder name

The folder name is unique for one export-import pair. For instance, replication from the master vault to a secondary vault could be named "MasterOut" and replication from the secondary vault to the master vault "MasterIn".

User-specified password for encryption

The replication password is used for encrypting the replication packages. The password can be whatever you decide. Just remember to use the same password for both export and import.
