Use the settings backup option to create a settings snapshot file of your agent's
configuration settings. A settings snapshot file contains the configuration settings,
including the logon account credentials and networking settings, of the agent.
The default settings snapshot file, FactoryDefault.settings , contains the original
agent settings.
You should create a settings snapshot file before you change your configuration settings.

Backup tab.

The new settings snapshot file appears in the Settings Backup table.
