Archiving Configuration Settings

You can schedule the uploading (archiving) of configuration information so that it is done automatically,
either once a day or once a week. By default, all new devices added to the EPICenter database use the
global schedule and do not have a set schedule for uploading configuration information.
In the Admin applet, you can specify whether the device configurations are uploaded only when the
device configuration has changed, or if switch configurations are always uploaded at the scheduled
archive time. See Chapter 16 for more information about how to set the uploading configuration
settings.

independently of other device upload schedules. To schedule device configuration archive uploads, click
