Backup and Restore

You can use the Backup option to save the current configuration saved in the ES8509-XT flash to a PC or
laptop or your TFTP server.
This allows you to use the Restore option to restore a configuration file back to the ES8509-XT or load the
same settings to another ES8509-XT. Before you can restore a configuration file, you must first save the
backup configuration file to a local system or your TFTP server.
The ES8509-XT configuration file is a standard text file. You can open the file with WordPad or Notepad. You
can also modify the file, add/remove the configuration settings, and then restore the file back to the ES8509-
XT.
Note: Optionally, you can use PortVision DX to back up and restore configuration files.
