## Import/Export to XML

BORG can export/import its data to/from XML. The import/export actions can be found on the month view Action menu. Import/Export provides a good way to backup your data in human readable/editable form.

The XML format changed in release 1.7.2 as is no longer compatible with the prior format.

Users are strongly encouraged to turn on the automatic backup feature which exports the entire database to a time-stamped zip file when borg shuts down.
