preparation step is only necessary the first time, and will not affect any other information you have saved onto the USB
storage device. However it is recommended that you back up any critical data from the USB storage device before using it
with your Console Server. If there are multiple USB devices installed you will be warned to remove them
• To backup to the USB enter a brief Description of the backup in the Local Backup menu and select Save Backup
• The Local Backup menu will display all the configuration backup files you have stored onto the USB flash
• To restore a backup from the USB simply select Restore on the particular backup you wish to restore and click Apply
