The most effective way to backup SSL-Explorer is to copy the contents of the '$SSLX_HOME/db' and '$SSLX_HOME/conf' directories.
To move from one machine to another ensure that you have installed the same version of SSL-Explorer on the new machine. Stop the SSL-Explorer service and copy the contents of the backed up folders to your new installation. After restarting SSL-Explorer your system should be restored to its previous state.
IMPORTANT: Thanks to the new Repository used in the 0.2.x branch of SSL-Explorer, there is a copy of every extension you have installed on SSL-Explorer. This means that when you a new instance of SSL-Explorer when the Setup mode begins you can cancel out and finish the installer. Then when the conf and db directories are copied to the new system the extensions and their settings, and the application shortcuts, are copied with them.
