Save and restore device configuration
Save and restore device configuration
The previously used backup and restore procedure is replaced by configuration presets, which are the perfect
way to backup all or any set of your configuration items for future import back to the same system or
another. See
for more details.
After completing configuration of your VGADVI Recorder Pro, it is good practice to save the system
configuration so you may restore it at a later date (i.e. after a change that wasn’t wanted, or after a factory
reset). In addition to full configuration backups, you can also save and restore configuration preset groups -
see
for details about that feature.

VGADVI Recorder Pro's Admin panel allows you to save the current system configuration to your admin
computer's hard drive. It’s good practice to do this before making any major changes to a working
configuration and before doing a firmware update.
The resulting backup file includes all non-default configuration settings for the system, except the
user passwords which are reset when a configuration is restored.
Configuration backup files are only guaranteed to work with the same firmware version with
which they were created. Normally there is no issue loading an older configuration file on a newer
release, but the reverse is not true and there are exceptions where older configuration files are
not supported in a new release.
To save the current system configuration:
1. Login to the Admin panel as
admin
.
2. Select the
Maintenance
link in the Configuration menu; the maintenance page opens.
3. Click the
Backup
button next to Backup Current Configuration; the system performs a backup and
depending on your browser the file is either automatically downloaded or you are asked to save the
file.
