you save access point settings in an external file or copy them from an external file
to the access point. You can save an entire configuration for use as a backup to a
single access point, or you can save a basic configuration, which can then be used
in common by several access points in a network, providing an easy way to
reconfigure all access points in a network.

To back up a configuration — Type the IP address of the TFTP server and a
name for the backup file in the spaces provided. Click Basic (to save a partial
configuration) or Complete (to save an entire configuration) and click
Backup Configuration.
To restore a configuration — Type the IP address of the TFTP server and the
name of the backup file in the spaces provided and click Restore Configuration.
Restoring a configuration causes the access point to reset. If the file being restored
was saved as a Basic configuration, only general configuration parameters such as
SSID, country code, radio settings, security settings, RADIUS server settings, and
management setup information are restored. Parameters that are unique to
individual access points, such as device names, IP addresses, and administration
passwords, are neither affected nor overwritten.
Before restoring a configuration you can view a description of the restoration
point by clicking the Restore User Comment button. Comments made at the
point the backup was created will appear in the "User Comments" field. This
feature allows the user to select the correct restoration point.
To restore comments — Click the Restore Comments button to view comments
saved on previous backups.
