Does CF8 provide an easy way to transfer server settings (including DSN and paths) from one server to another? We have 4 development servers that we work on, and woudl prefer not to have to walk to each one and add each setting manually. I was hoping if we had the admin access to each, we coudl sync them.

Suggestions?

    Create a new archive file. It has to have a .car extension. Follow the wizard to select settings to backup. Once you're done, on the line that shows your new archive, click the middle icon to Build the CAR file.

    Once the file is created, you can load the settings into another CF server from the same page. Under " Deploy an Existing Archive", browse to the .car file and then click the "Deploy" button.
