  2. From the Export or Import page, select either "Export Migration Data" or "Import Migration Data," then click Next.
  3. From the Select Data Type page, select the data type you want to export or import, then click Next. The choices for exporting are: Database Data, Configuration Data, or Both. The choices for importing are: Database Data or Configuration Data.
  4. From the Select Folder page, specify the folder that will hold the exported or imported data, then click Next.
