As a VMware Aria Operations admin, you can backup the adapter configurations before upgrading, export all the adapter configurations, and import them into a different VMware Aria Operations instance. You can export the adapter configurations from VMware Aria Operations on-prem to VMware Aria Operations, VMware Aria Operations to VMware Aria Operations on-prem, VMware Aria Operations on-prem to on-prem instance, and VMware Aria Operations to cloud instance.

Note: Users with "Export" permission can export and users with "Import" permission can import the adapter configurations.

Procedure

    1. From the left menu, click Administration > Integrations.
    2. In the Accounts tab, select the adapter configuration(s) that you want to export, click the horizontal ellipses, and select Export Accounts.
