For exporting data from your IRControl installation you use the funtkion export in the datatransfer subsystem.
There exists 2 different mode for how you can use export. You can use the option „Full backup“ for exporting the whole data store of IRControl, or you can select only individual data objects and therefore Export only parts of your data.

You can set the following export properites:
| Follow dependencies | If this option is switched on, all objects that are related will be
select too. If you select for example a Device, the Gateway wich is
referenced by the devices will also be selected. Or you select a page
and all referenced devices on this page will be selected too (which also
selects the used Gateways in turn). |
| Main Page | If you include the main page (Main.xml) in your export, it will be
exported also fix as main page. Otherwise you could set an other page as
new mainpage. It will be renamed in this case in the export file. This
