Backing Up and Restoring Configurations
You can import and export IP-20 configuration files. This enables you to copy the
system configuration to multiple IP-20 units. You can also backup and save
configuration files.
Configuration files can only be copied between units of the same type, i.e., IP-20C
to IP-20C, IP-20C-HP to IP-20C-HP, IP-20S to IP-20S, IP-20E to IP-20E, and IP-20V to
IP-20V.

Configuration Management Overview
System configuration files consist of a zip file that contains three components:
•
A binary configuration file used by the system to restore the configuration.
•
A text file which enables users to examine the system configuration in a
readable format. The file includes the value of all system parameters at the
time of creation of the backup file.
•
An additional text file which enables you to write CLI scripts in order to make
desired changes in the backed-up configuration. This file is executed by the
system after restoring the configuration.
The system provides three restore points to manage different configuration files.
Each restore point contains a single configuration file. Files can be added to the
restore points by creating backups of the current system state or by importing
them from an external server. For example, you may want to use one restore
point to keep a last good configuration, another to import changes from an
external server, and the third to store the current configuration.
You can apply a configuration file to the system from any of the restore points.

point to keep a last good configuration, another to import changes from an
external server, and the third to store the current configuration.
