Export Wizard

The Export Wizard lets you export data from Simple DNS Plus in four different ways.

For all export options, you can select to export all zones or only the zones in specific zone groups, and whether or not to include suspended zones.

•	Zone List Generates a list (.csv file) of local zones, including zone type and group. The generated file can be imported into any software that reads ".csv" files, such as Microsoft Excel.

•	Standard boot file Simple DNS Plus uses an optimized proprietary database format for storing its list of DNS zones. This function exports the zone list to a standard boot file (simple text based format) which most DNS servers can either use directly or import from.

•	Boot file for secondary DNS server

Generates a standard boot file listing primary zones from this server as secondary zones. The generated file can be imported or used directly on a secondary DNS server. Some secondary DNS service providers offer a function to import such a file directly saving a lot of typing.
NOTE: If you are setting up another Simple DNS Plus server as secondary to this one, we recommend you use the Super Master/Slave feature to synchronize the two servers. This is much easier and will also automatically synchronize any later zone additions and deletions.

•	IP addresses to "hosts" or ".csv" file Scans local zones for A-records and generates a sorted list of IP address/host name pairs. This can be used to track which IP addresses are in use. The generated "hosts" file could also be used directly for simple name resolution.
