You could use the export function. These settings like credentials are not saved in SQL. Protocol settings are saved in the local config files.

Hello again, From the PDF : source : http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c04453319 Exporting data from a CMS 1. Before data can be exported, the following requirements must be met: • Determine if enough disk space is available on the CMS. This is dependent on how much data is contained in the database. • The source server has HP Systems Insight Manager 6.3 or later. • The mxexport command must only run after all tasks and jobs such as, discovery tasks or scheduled tasks, are completed. 2. To export your data, enter the following CLI command: mxexport Specify the password as part of the command or you will be prompted to enter the password. The password must be a minimum of 8 characters. This password is used to encrypt the exported file for security reasons. The password you enter here will be required to import the data. • -f is optional. If you do not pass the filename, a Products.zip file is created in [HPSIM]\data\configdata-export.
