4.1.2 Configuration Management: Server Configuration Management

The interface on this page is used to manage configuration backup files. You can create a copy of the current
configuration of DASDEC II settings and review previously saved configuration files. Each configuration backup
is stored in an encrypted ZIP file. The file contains all settings selected in the Setup process. The backup
configuration file does not save Network setup, the email server name, user accounts, and license keys. As of
release 1.8-0, sound level settings are stored when a configuration backup file is created and are optionally
restorable. Configuration files made prior to 1.8-0 will load but do not contain audio level information and cannot
be used to set audio levels.
A recent backup configuration file is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for a number of reasons. Backup configuration
files serve as a safety precaution. They provide a way to restore your DASDEC II settings in case of catastrophic
disk failure, or in the case of an upgrade error, or to restore the state of former DASDEC II settings when
experimenting with new settings. The backup allows you to easily and quickly return to the previous settings if a
serious configuration mistake is made. The backup configuration file can also be downloaded to another
computer for offline saving. Later, the backup configuration can be uploaded and reinstalled. The same
configuration file can be used to configure another DASDEC II EAS server.
When the DASDEC II is being configured for the first time, and before a backup configuration file is made, the
page states, "There are no backup configuration files yet." REMEMBER to return to this page to create a
