Importing / migrating existing tag configuration from one datacenter to another?

Hi everyone! :)

I'm super happy with tagging my machines in one PVE setup i've made. I'd now love to re-use /just the same/ config on a new PVE install.
Where does Proxmox store the tag config, and can I just rsync-over-ssh copy that onto the new machine?

Grateful for any insights! :)
 
I've ran grep -Ri "findme" /etc/pve/ on a tag "findme", and the custom-config (colors and all) seem to be stored in:
Code:
/etc/pve/datacenter.cfg:tag-style: color-map=findme:fd6bd9:00cc00

The tags assigned to containers directly, are neatly stored in the container config:
Code:
/etc/pve/nodes/macrocosm/lxc/100.conf:tags: findme;web

Let's see what happens when I copy/paste that :P

UPDATE: The color-assignment from datacenter.cfg "transplantation" worked perfectly!
Any way i can have my previous tag-terms again dropdown when I assign tags?
