Exporting and importing settings

This functionality is available if the user has the Edit settings permission.
Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway settings can be exported or imported for the following purposes:
- Backing up application settings.
If you ever need to deploy the application on a new server, you can import previously exported settings of rules and personal allow and deny lists of addresses. This helps reduce the time spent on configuration of a new node.
- Migrating the application to a new version.
Prior to upgrading the application, you can export the settings from the old version and import them into the new version.
Migration from a newer version to an older version is not supported.
When settings are exported, a configuration file containing the application version and values of settings is created. The generated configuration file is saved locally on the node with role Control.
When importing a configuration file, you can select which settings must be applied:
- Message processing rules (including predefined Allowlist and Denylist rules).
- Personal lists of allowed and denied addresses.
Values of other settings are unchanged after the import is complete.
