What is the best practice to copy connectors and the related alarm templates from one DataMiner Agent to another Agent in order to not to install the drivers and create the templates manually?
Is it a supported procedure for this purpose to copy the contents of the C:\Skyline DataMiner\Protocols folder between the Agents on Windows level?
Hi Laszlo
* If this is about a specific element using a trend/alarm template, then I would opt for a DELT export:
Exporting elements, services, etc. to a .dmimport file | DataMiner Docs
* However if 1 protocol/template is too limiting, then you might want to try a custom dataminer backup, selecting only the protocols.

Note that I didn't test this myself (from 1 active system to another), but I do believe this should work.
When restoring a backup, it is recommended that the source and destination agents both use the same DM version.
* Copying over the xml files from C:/Skyline DataMiner/Protocols should work as well, but it also requires a DM restart.
As to whether these procedures are supported are food for thought, I guess it depends on the full context.
