Hello,

The mccli group export command exports a group, group settings (that is, name, domain, encryption method, and so forth), and assigned policy objects (dataset, schedule, and retention policy) to an XML file. However, groups exported in this way do not contain a list of client members.

Synopsis

mccli group export [--domain=STRING(/)] --file=STRING --name=STRING [--force=Boolean(false)]

--domain=STRING(/)  > Specifies the Avamar server domain that contains the group specified by the --name argument.

--file=STRING >  Specifies the name of the export XML file to create. This option is required.

--force=Boolean(false) > If true, then the option forces the overwrite of an existing XML file.

--name=STRING > Specifies the group to export. This option is required.

The mccli mcs import command accepts an XML file created by the group export command and imports the group and its policy objects (that is, dataset, schedule, and retention policy) into the target Avamar server. The group name remains the same, but you can specify a new target domain.

Synopsis

mccli mcs import --file=STRING [--force=Boolean(false)] --target-domain=STRING [--prefix=STRING]

Example -

mccli group export --name=group-name --file=filename.xml

mccli mcs import --file=filename.xml --target-domain=domain-to-import-to


I Hope this will be helpful for you

Hello,

I hope it is not too late to reply your query

There is a method which can be used to export group settings and assigned policy objects (dataset, schedule, and retention policy) to a XML file and this XML file can be imported to another Avamar server.

A simple question to you - Do you want to export - import only dataset or all policy objects ?

Regards,

Pawan

Hello,

if possible I want to export the complete policy with datdaset, schedule and retention.

That would help me a lot.

Hello,

Yes, all group policy object will be included under XML files. No need to define any dataset, schedule and retention policy.

This XML file will not include list of clients under that group and I believe there is no need to export list of clients.

Thank you for marking my response "Correct Answer"

Hello,

that seems to be exact the solution I am looking for.

Only that I understand this clearly.

I don´t have to define any dataset, schedule and so on. This is all included in the export.xml file?

Is there a way to export all groups with a single mccli command? I have very large list of backups group and I'm trying too export them all.

Also does it export only the connected to a backup group  datasets, schedules, retentions or all of the existeing ones?

Bart
