6.4 Backup and Restore

The Backup and Restore view allows to store and restore the device configuration either to/from a file on your
computer or the dataFEED Gateway micro SD card.
Backup Restore - File
Click the Browse... button in the Load configuration from file section to select a previously stored
configuration file on your computer and to load it intothe dataFEED Gateway.
Click the Backup button in the Save configuration in file section to save the current configuration into a
backup file on your computer.
Backup Restore - SD card
Click the Restore button in the Restore Configuration from SD card section to load the configuration file
previously stored on the micro SD card into the dataFEED Gateway.
Click the Save button in the Save Configuration on SD card section to save the current configuration on the
micro SD card.
Click the Browse button in the SD-Card Content section to view the actual contents of the micro SD card.
Note
If you modify the IP settings of the interface that you use for configuration, you need to re-connect
to this interface afterwards using the new IP address setting.
Note
When restoring the configuration only that part editable by the currently logged-in user
(Administrator, IT Responsible or Service Engineer) is included.
Thus, only users working as Administrator are capable to restore the complete configuration.
Exception:
Users working as Service Engineer are also allowed to restore the symbols in the MQTT Topic
Selection from IT Settings, because these symbols are derived from the Machine Settings Symbol
Import.
Independent on the currently logged-in user, backup always stores the complete dataFEED
Gateway configuration.
