The GFI ReportCenter allows you to backup your configuration settings for the ReportCenter and all ReportPacks through Import/Export Configuration… in the File pull-down menu. Settings are exported for:

•	Default scheduling options

•	Custom reports

•	Scheduled reports

•	Favorite reports.

The configuration is backed up into an XML file which may be imported into a separate GFI ReportCenter instance, provided that the same ReportPacks are installed on both instances.

You can also import/export the configuration for a particular ReportPack through the Import/Export Configuration node in the Options section of the ReportPack.
