Hi,
To use the XML export feature, log in a the server administrator - userId = root, password = password. This is the default password and likely hasn't been changed.
From here click on tools, then Backup Database. This will prompt you to save an XML file to your pc.
When you setup the new instance on the server, follow the production installation instructions and instead of loading the default data, load the XML file you've saved. Here is a link to the Contour 1.7.4 Production Installation Guide.
We reccomend using MySQL rather than the embedded database for longer term evaluation.
Feel free to give us a call
(800) 679-3058 if you get stuck or want to walk through with someone from support. We'll also send you an evaluation key with a larger set of users if you prefer to provide more than read only access.
