    Hi Guy,

    Resource monitor configuration can be backed up using fteListMonitors command.  If you are using MQ 9.0 or 9.1 - you can backup one monitor at a time using command like 
    fteListMonitors -ma AGENT1 -mn MONITOR1 -ox filename1.xml

    If you are using MQ 9.2, then you can use fteListMonitors -od <dir name> to backup all resource monitor configurations as xml files. The same xml file can be used to recreate the resource monitor with fteCreateMonitor with -ix option.

    Unlike resource monitors, MFT does not provide a mechanism to backup transfer and transfer templates. But you can simply backup the command/scripts used to create the transfers/templates/scheduled transfers and recreate them. More details here: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_9.2.0/com.ibm.mq.ref.adm.doc/list_monitors_cmd.html

    Hope this helps.
