How to back up XProtect Smart Client views and Groups in Xprotect Smartclient 2022 R3
Hi @Mehmet Sensöz,
The Configuration API makes viewgroups and their child viewgroups and views available under the /ViewGroupFolder configuration api path. From here, you have access to all shared view groups, and the current user’s private view group.
There is no built-in mechanism in the Smart Client or Management Client to create a backup of a viewgroup, and there’s no “backup/restore” method implemented in the MIP SDK or API, but you can implement your own backup and restore solution using the configuration api.
An alternative method could be to use the MilestonePSTools PowerShell module and the Export-VmsViewGroup command. It will help you save a viewgroup and all its contents in JSON format, and the corresponding Import-VmsViewGroup command can use that JSON file to import the contents on the same site or a different site, and under the same, or a different parent view group.
