Images→ Import/Export→ Export Function

Description

The Images→ Import/Export→ Export function enables you to export an image from the image server to a file on the image server. You can then transfer the exported file by importing it to other image servers.

Prerequisites

An image must exist in configured storage.

   • Destination file (*) — Enter the intended file name for the exported image, such as C:\temp\myExportedImage.zip. The export destination must be local to the system. The file extension must be .zip or .gz.
