Backup / Restore - BEC 8800N User Manual

Backup / Restore

These functions allow you to save a backup of the current configuration of your router to a defined
location on your PC, or to restore a previously saved configuration. This is useful if you wish to
experiment with different settings, knowing that you have a backup in hand in case any mistakes
occur. It is advisable that you backup your router configuration before making any changes to your
router configuration.
Backup Configuration
Press Backup Settings to select where on your local PC you want to store your setting file. You
may also want to change the name of the file when saving if you wish to keep multiple backups.
Restore Configuration
Press Browse to select a file from your PC to restore. You should only restore your router setting
that has been generated by the Backup function which is created with the current version of the
router firmware. Settings files saved to your PC should not be manually edited in any way.
Select the settings files you wish to use, and press Restore to load the setting into the router. Click
Restore to begin restoring the configuration and wait for the router to restart before performing any
actions.
