# Backing Up System Settings

Once the system has been set up to add all the cameras, organize the cameras into groups, create the users, set their access permissions and verify system security, you should save the settings as a project. Everything is saved, except for settings that are only relevant for the local installation, such as the RemoteControl port.
Secured system settings can be e-mailed directly from the application to other people. You can also include the encrypted access data for each camera (user name and password). When opening the project in MxMC, this access data will be used automatically. If you do not supply the access data, the user name and password will have to be entered manually for each camera.
Furthermore, you can quickly export a tabular overview of all cameras and camera groups from MxMC and save it in the usual way. The table lists the cameras with their IP addresses and the camera groups with the associated cameras.

1. Select File > Export MXU… from the Menu bar.
