Export a Database

Use the Export Databases window to export one or more fuzzy databases in order to store a backup so that they can be imported to another Kofax Search and Matching Server. When you export a database you can choose a full export that saves the fuzzy database and its configured import and general settings. Alternatively, you can save the configured settings for the fuzzy database only, which means that the fuzzy database is created from the exported settings when you import the database.

Important For a fuzzy database that was created from an uploaded delimited text file you can only select Full export. This is because the server does not have access to an uploaded file and therefore cannot create the fuzzy database from the exported settings during import.
  1. Click Export.

    The Export Databases window is displayed.

  2. Select the location where the export file is saved to.
  3. Select one or more fuzzy databases you want to export.
  4. For all selected databases you can configure the export type. By default, Full export is selected. This saves the fuzzy database and its settings.
    Note To export the configured settings but not the fuzzy database itself, select Export settings only.
  5. Click Export to save the zip file and return to the main window.
