The "Export Config" function creates a backup of JetBackup’s internal database, which includes all plugin settings, destination configurations, license data, and metadata related to your backups.
This configuration file is saved to the selected destination, allowing you to preserve your JetBackup environment independently from WordPress itself.
Why it's important:
In the event of a total site failure or disaster, JetBackup staff can use this exported config to recover your backup configuration, helping you restore your data even if your WordPress installation is no longer accessible.
It’s a critical safety net that ensures your backup setup can be restored quickly and accurately when you need it most.
