In Response To: RE: ALARMPROGRAM: Event Alarms Filtering? (Art Kagel)

Thank you for your comments Art and Alexandre! It will do the trick as a
workaround.

I am also not the biggest fan of exports, but we use them a lot for cloning
to another sites for example, or by the devs for testing and for what Art
mentioned.
onbar is our primary backup method.
