42.2.4 Synchronizing the Configuration File Manually
Although the system can perform the synchronization automatically, the
synchronization can occur only when the Fabric saves its configuration file. If the user
expects to determine the backup of the configuration file by himself, he can do it
manually to backup the configuration file saved in the Fabric.
Perform the following configuration in user view.
