Snapshot

‍

Snapshot is one of the global export tools available in the Hyperon system.

‍

This functionality allows you to export to migrate selected parts of the configuration to the .zip file and import this into another environment.
The contents of the .zip file are a directory structure with plain text files, making it easy to work with

the version control system if you need another place to manage configuration versions.
‍
Hyperon allows the user to export [1] and import [2] snapshot.‍

‍Snapshot export

The snapshot export functionality allows you to export selected data configuration elements from

one separated environment to import them to another.

The result of the export will be a package of files in .zip format [1] to download [2].

‍Selecting data configuration items for snapshot export

If you want to perform a snapshot export, Hyperon allows you to choose the elements that you want to be in it from among the items:
1. domain
2. functions
3. parameters
4. profiles
5. tags.
Elements can be selected freely.
