> #### General export and import considerations

> Keep the following points in mind before you perform either an import or export activity:

> - It is advisable to back up the Fathom configuration database before you proceed with the import process.
> - You will be informed of any potential conflicts through error messages in the Fathom Management console and in the log file. For example, if a component you are exporting from Machine A to Machine B has a schedule that conflicts with the schedule of an existing component on Machine B, you will be notified of this conflict.
