Select shared backup folder
Before backing up and restoring any system configuration, you must set a backup folder for this purpose.
1. Right-click the notification area's Management Server service icon and select Select shared backup
folder.
2. In the window that appears, browse to the wanted file location.
3. Click OK twice.
4. If asked if you want to delete files in the current backup folder, click Yes or No depending on your
needs.
Back up system configuration manually
1. From the menu bar, select File > Backup Configuration.
2. Read the note in the dialog box and click Backup.
3. Enter a file name for the .cnf file.
4. Enter a folder destination and click Save.
5. Wait until the backup is finished and click Close.
All relevant system configuration files are combined into one single .cnf file that is saved
at a specified location. During the backup, all backup files are first exported to a
temporary system backup folder on the management server. You can select another
temporary folder by right-clicking the notification area's Management Server service
icon and by selecting Select shared backup folder.
