You can export zone file records to use with a third party or to archive. For example, if you want a third party to manage your DNS, you could export the zone file records from us and import them to use with a third party system. If you make a mistake while editing your DNS, you can import data that you previously exported or archived.

The format of the exported data follows the BIND zone file format and RFC 1035. You must manually edit the exported data before it can be used directly by the BIND DNS server.
