Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
My client has apparently been relying upon Umbraco's in-built URL Tracking feature to generate redirects. (AFAICT) These do not synchronise between servers, so a page that works on the source server, does not work on the destination server.
This is an issue in places where the link is hard-coded text, instead of selecting a node in the URL picker. Also for incoming links from external sources.
Describe the solution you'd like
I think it makes sense if these could be included in the sync.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I have come up with a solution to move the umbracoRedirectUrl table contents, and update them, but it is painful. Some redirect URLs are stored with a node ID, which changes between servers. This then affects the urlHash that needs to be recalculated, using the correct text encoding for it to work.
I haven't found a native way for Umbraco to export/import these.
I'm also using a package called SeoToolkit which contains a Redirect manager, but it doesn't support import either.
I could also suggest the export/import as a feature to Umbraco, but I'm not sure they have the context to be able to map node IDs 🤷♂️
This feels like a better fit for uSync.
