  1. In the menu bar of the inspectIT program, select the 'Storage Manager' tab.


  2. In the menu bar of the 'Storage Manager' tab, select the '+' to create a new storage.


  3. Select the repository, where the storage should be created and give the storage a name. Then click on 'Finish'.

  8. Choose the path, where the storage should be saved. Then click on 'Speichern' (engl. 'Save').



  9. Finally, click on 'Finish'. Traces are exported as a .itds file (Java serialization).
