Even though replication profiles are disabled, the replication profile settings are retained. - In the Batch Size drop-down list, select the maximum allowable size of the export zip. Servers with 8GB of RAM or less should use the default value of 1024. Servers with larger amounts of RAM can use a larger batch size for faster content import.
