Cisco Prime Infrastucture Map Export

[garyleggat]

Cisco Prime Infrastructure has the option to export maps, What is the purpose of the export is it another way of Backing up maps ?

If you do an export it leaves the maps as they are on the Cisco Prime ? so would this be a way of saving a copy of the maps and AP Placements

If you need to go another version of Prime, the usual best practice is to build that version VM fresh and import maps (once you export it from the old system). 

This is much cleaner the application restore from an old system to a new system.
