Exporting the metadata to a file allows you save the configuration settings for an entire hierarchy of related Broker objects (territory, territory gateway, cluster, cluster gateway, Broker Servers, Brokers, client groups, document types, clients), and re-create them at a later time. You can select which objects to include or exclude when exporting metadata.

You can import the saved Broker metadata, effectively re-creating the Broker objects and their relationships. You can import saved metadata to any valid location in your Broker network.
