        Use Backup/Restore, change the box to "Aliases" from "ALL"

        I can break anything.

            It's there on all my systems.  Are you on the final build of 2.1 or an older RC/Beta?

                … ok.  That's strange.  I guess you could just open the config.xml on the box, copy out what you need, add it to the config.xml on your new box and then reboot it.

                  The code on the backup page hides sections that do not exist in that config.xml

                  If Aliases doesn't show up, then it doesn't exist in that config.xml

                  It should show up in the Restore Areas section though, assuming you're looking on the target which has no aliases yet.

                    Heh…  I assumed that since he was asking that there was actually something to export.
