+===== Export Resources From a Datadog Account =====
+https://github.com/DataDog/datadog-sync-cli can be used for exporting resources like dashboards, monitors, etc, or for general backups of a Datadog account.
+The `import` command is somewhat misleading. It refers to reading the specified resources from a Datadog organization and then storing them locally as JSON files.
+<code>
+$ datadog-sync import \
+    --source-api-key="..." \
+    --source-app-key="..." \
+    --source-api-url="https://api.datadoghq.com"
