Good point Pieter.

I'm not sure what the difference is between collections and data. Do  
you mean collections and items?

In the interest of brevity, what about:
+ Export collections and settings...
+ Reload collections and settings...

We should also keep in mind that most people will be using these menu  
items when following pretty detailed migration instructions.
