Administrators can export an update set as an XML file to save a specific version of
an application or set of changes.

## Antes de Iniciar

Role required: admin

## Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

Create an XML file of an update set when:

* The two instances lack network connectivity, preventing the retrieval of update sets or the creation of a data source for import from the source instance.
* You don't want to give administrator credentials for the source instance.
* You want to back up important customizations locally.
