The Cisco RV215W uploads the configuration file and uses the settings it contains
to update the Startup Configuration. Then the Cisco RV215W restarts and uses
the new configuration.

Copying the Configuration Settings

You copy the Startup Configuration to the Backup Configuration to ensure you
have a backup copy in case you forget your username and password and get
locked out of the Device Manager. In this case, the only way to get back into the
Device Manager is to reset the Cisco RV215W to factory default.
The Backup Configuration file remains in memory and allows the backed up
configuration information to be copied to the Startup Configuration, which restores
all of the settings.
To copy a configuration (for example, to copy a startup configuration to the backup
configuration):
Choose Administration > Backup/Restore Settings.
In the Copy field, choose the source and destination configurations from the drop-
down menus.
Click Start to Copy.

Generating an Encryption Key

The router allows you to generate an encryption key to protect the backup files.
To generate an encryption key:
Choose Administration > Backup/Restore Settings.
Click Show Advanced Settings.
In the box, enter the seed phrase used to generate the key.
Click Save.
