Taken from the 5.1 documentation...
Transferring Resources Using a SAMBA Share
Any appliance can export the resources listed in About Importing and Exporting Resources to another appliance using their SAMBA share directories as staging areas.
Export resources from one appliance to another using SAMBA shares
1.Open the Administrator Portal of the appliance to export resources from.
2.Go to Settings > Resources.
The Resource Management Panel appears.
3.Select Export KBOX Resources.
The Export KBOX Resources page appears, listing all of the resources available to export.
By default, all available resources on the appliance are listed. You can limit the resources to view using the drop-down list and search field on the right side of the screen. Select a resource from the list to display just that resource category. Enter a term in the search field to limit the resources list even further. In this example, only Reports with the term Closed in the description are listed:
4.Select the check boxes of the resources to export, and select Choose action... Export to SAMBA Share.
The Annotate Exported Resource(s) splash screen appears.
5.Enter a description of the components to export, and click Save.
Your exported resources first appear on the Resource Manager Queue page with a Status of New Request. Select the Refresh button to update this page. When finished, the Status changes to Completed. Most import/export tasks only take a moment, but very large resources take longer. This screen does not refresh by itself for several minutes.
The resources you exported are now available on your SAMBA share for other KACE K1000 Appliances to import.
6.Go to Settings > Control Panel, and note the location of the SAMBA share directory in the SAMBA Share Settings section.
