Importing and Exporting Account Information

You can use XML or character-delimited text files to import and export user and group account information. Importing information can make it easier to set up many accounts quickly. Exporting information to a file is useful for record-keeping. To back up account information with passwords intact, archive the directory.

For more information, see the appendix, “Importing and Exporting Account Information.”
