Backing Up and Restoring Configuration Data

You can back up the NV-RAM configuration, which includes all of the data you
input through instructions in this chapter, using the Backup and Restore
Configuration option. This option is available through the Maintenance menu.

directory contents change or you reboot the HAFM server. For more information,
