Sail domain export

To create a new domains and SSL certificates export from your site, run:

sail domain export

This will make a copy of all your SSL certificates, Let's Encrypt renewal configuration and account settings, along with your domains configuration in Sail.

The resulting copy will be archived into the .backups directory in your local Sail working copy and will have a .domains.tar.gz extension. To view all your backups in your local copy, run:

cd /path/to/project
ls -lh .backups

To import the domains configuration to a new Sail application, you can run sail domain import. You can learn more about it here.
