Source note · Inventorying a legacy PBX before migration
In Unified CM, the BAT export (Bulk Administration > Import/Export > Export) produces a .tar archive with one CSV per exported item plus a header file listing the source server, export time and contents. The archive is downloaded from Bulk Administration > Upload/Download Files.
Checked 2026-10-14
All files that are exported at the same time get bundled together (.tar) and can be downloaded from the server.
