Exports one or more package definitions to XML files. This enables synchronization of packages between isolated networks, backup of package configurations, and infrastructure-as-code practices.
Exported files include all deployment steps, conditions, properties, and nested package dependencies.
PDQDeploy ExportPackages -Name <packageName> -Path <outputPath> [-Overwrite]
PDQDeploy ExportPackages -Name <package1>,<package2>,... -Path <outputDirectory> [-Overwrite]

Yes |
One or more package names to export. Use commas to separate multiple names. Supports wildcard patterns (* and ?). |
-Path |
Yes |
Output file path or directory. For a single package, this can be a full file path or a directory (the package name is used as the file name). For multiple packages, this must be a directory. |

Overwrite existing files without prompting. Without this flag, existing files will cause an error (single package with prompt) or be skipped (multiple packages). |
