# 1 Host groups

In the frontend host groups can be [exported](/manual/xml_export_import)
only with host or template export. When a host or template is exported
all groups it belongs to are exported with it automatically.

API allows to export host groups independently from hosts or templates.

``` {.xml}
<groups>
    <group>
        <name>Zabbix servers</name>
    </group>
</groups>
```
