Exporting & Importing Configuration
If you need to install and configure cPGuard on multiple servers, exporting and importing configuration from the command line is the easiest approach.
Export configuration:
cpgcli config --export
cpgcli config --export=filename
If no filename is provided, the configuration keys and values are displayed on screen, which can be used to create a configuration file manually.
Import configuration on destination server:
cpgcli config --import="filename or url"
Copy the exported file to a public location or directly to the destination server, then run the import command to apply all settings at once.
