Following is incredibly lazy, but I have been at restoring 2 Joomla sites after 3 years and I am burned out after two days... coming close to the end of the retooling. So am asking a supremely lazy question…. Can one back up/export an Admin Tools Pro configuration and restore into a second installed Joomla with Admin Tools already installed. Instead of clicking thru all the installation screens, twice?

I have been a subscriber of Admin Tools for years but let it slide in the last year due to medical stuff for family. Coming back to it. Wanted to say how excellent the application is that you have created.

There's an Export and Import function in Admin Tools. Go to a site you've already set up. Use the Export function to download Admin Tools' configuration as a JSON file. Go to any site you want to set up. Use the import function to import this JSON file. Done!

The exported data is meant to be reusable across sites. We even have a feature which allows your sites to periodically import data automatically form a URL you choose, essentially allowing you to do  "synced" configurations among multiple sites just by hosting a file somewhere (Dropbox works fine, BTW).
