Back up and restore configuration settings

There are several mechanisms available to backup device configurations, and later restore them on
your TransPort router. It is important to understand the Digi TransPort file system and which files
should be backed up.

Configuration files associated with your TransPort router

The TransPort router file system includes several configuration files:
File name Purpose and contents
config.da0 Primary configuration file. This is where all feature configuration settings are written
when a configuration is saved.
You can also use the file named config.da1 to create and save an alternate
configuration.
pwds.da0 Obfuscated passwords file.
fw.txt Firewall rules.
sregs.dat Serial port configuration settings, if the serial settings were changed from their
defaults.
x3prof X.25 PAD profile. Rarely used.
