8.2 Exporting archives and backups

The export operation creates a copy of an archive or a self-sufficient part copy of an archive in the
location you specify. The original archive remains untouched.

The export operation can be applied to:

A single archive - an exact archive copy will be created.

A single backup - an archive consisting of a single full backup will be created. The export of an
incremental or a differential backup is performed using consolidation of the preceding backups
up to the nearest full backup.

Your choice of backups belonging to the same archive - the resulting archive will contain only the
specified backups. Consolidation is performed as required, so the resulting archive may contain
full, incremental and differential backups.

Usage scenarios

Export enables you to separate a specific backup from a chain of incremental backups for fast
recovery, writing onto removable or detachable media or other purposes.
