If your current Mirage system deployment exceeds the maximum number of clients, you can migrate all of the systems settings from your current deployment to your new deployment. This helps you to easily install and configure your new Mirage system. You can export the Mirage system configuration and layers to a self-contained archive using a command-line tool that is external to Mirage. You can use the exported items later to import and synchronise items to your new Mirage deployment.

About this task

You can export the following items from your current Mirage deployment to a zip file:

  • System settings

  • Configuration files

  • Bandwidth limiting settings

  • USMT files

  • Driver libraries

  • Master and CVD policies

  • Base layers

  • Application layers

Procedure
