# Export-RDMDataSource

### Synopsis

Export the workspace configuration

### Syntax

#### \_\_AllParameterSets

```
Export-RDMDataSource [-InputObject] <PSDataSourceWrapper> [[-Filename] <string>] [-NoClobber]
 [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
```

### Description

Export the workspace configuration to an RDD file. The RDD file contains only the configuration information and does not include the workspace content. To prevent overwriting an existing file, use the -NoClobber parameter

### Examples

#### Example 1

```powershell
PS C:\> Export-RDMDataSource -InputObject 'MyWorkspace' -Filename 'C:\my\path\MyWorkspace.rdd' -NoClobber
```

Export the configuration of the workspace 'MyWorkspace' in the file 'C:\my\path\MyWorkspace.rdd' if this one does not exists.

#### Example 2

```powershell
PS C:\> Get-RDMDataSource | Export-RDMDataSource -Filename 'C:\my\path\'
```

Export the configurations of all workspaces to the directory 'C:\my\path'. Each file will be named after its corresponding workspace.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/powershell/powershell-commands/export-rdmdatasource.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
