  2. Right-click to display the context menu and select Backup Policy.
    Note The Backup Policy command is also available in the Actions menu.
  3. In the Save As dialog, enter a file name for the XML file and select the a storage location for the file. Click Save.

The backup of the policy/policy group is stored as an XML file in the specified directory.

When you add policies to a backed-up policy group, they will automatically be added to the backup.
