+```
+
+Export system table information into timestamped file,
+by default into the `cfr/sys` directory.
+```shell
+ctk cfr sys-export
+```
+
+Export system table information into given directory.
+```shell
+ctk cfr sys-export file:///var/ctk/cfr/sys
+```
+
+Import system table information from given directory.
+```shell
+ctk cfr sys-import file://./cfr/sys/2024-04-16T05-43-37
