# Export/Import

On the Controller tab, the Export/Import pane allows to perform the following operations: Export, Import, and Automated backup.

Use the Export window to export controller configurations, settings, results, events and tool logs, which can be shared with Atlas Copco Service personnel to troubleshoot problems with the tools.

Use the Import window to import controller configurations and settings.

It is only possible to have one export or import process active at the same time. Any attempt to start a new export or import process while there is one ongoing is rejected.

Use the Automated backup window to generate a backup file.

It is possible to export or to import data through one of the following devices:

- USB flash drive (formatted and with a partition to work for Linux: possible formats are, for example, FAT or NTFS)

- Web GUI

- ToolsTalk 2

During export or import processes, a progress bar informs of that an export or an import process is ongoing. The time to perform an export or an import depends on the number of results, events, and log files that are imported or exported.

## Export/Import Between Controllers

Controllers may have different IAM types that could have different capabilities.
A controller can export all the configurations that are applicable to the current type of IAM module.

A controller cannot import a file exported from a different type of IAM module. This is applicable also when using ToolsTalk 2.
