# VM import and export
|
|
|
|
Xen Orchestra can import and export VM's in XVA format (XenServer format) or import OVA files (OVF1 format).
|
|
|
|
> We support OVA import from VirtualBox. Feel free to report issues with OVA from other virtualization platforms.
|
|
|
|
## Import
|
|
|
|
### XVA files
|
|
|
|
To import an XVA file, just go to the New/Import menu:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Select the target pool and SR where the VM will be imported. Then, drag and drop your file and click on the import button.
|
|
|
|
### OVA files
|
|
|
|
OVA files contains extra info that you need to check before importing, like name, etc.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
When you are OK with these settings, just click on the "Import" button.
|
|
|
|
## Export
|
|
|
|
> Exported VMs are in XVA format
|
|
|
|
Just access the page for the VM that you want to export, and click on the "Export" button in the toolbar. You'll instantly download a compressed XVA file.
|
|
|
|
It works even if the VM is running, because we'll automatically export a snapshot of this VM.
|
|
|
|
### Snapshot export
|
|
|
|
In the VM "Snapshots" tab, you can also export a snapshot like you export a VM.
