Full export of the CMS from Production to Development

Hello All,

We have to export the reports and universes from Production to Development. In short we need to sync the Development CMS repository with Production CMS repository.

What is the best way to do this. Is Import Wizard the only way to export the contents to Development?

Because when I exported one report from Dev to Prod , we had to go and reset the scheduling properties again in Production. It did not maintain the properties which it was set to before. Is there a way to maintain the scheduling properties the way it was set to before. Or every time when we export a modified report to Production, we need to go and set properties back?

We are using BO 3.1 version.

Thanks,

Naveen
