Saving and Restoring the FRITZ!Box Settings
Restoring Settings
With the “Restore” function in the “System / Backup” you can
have all settings from a backup file you created with this or
another FRITZ!Box loaded in full to your FRITZ!Box. Your cur-
rent FRITZ!Box settings will be overwritten by this function.
You can use the following backup files to restore settings:
•
Backup files created with the same FRITZ!Box.
If you apply settings from a backup file created with the
same FRITZ!Box, all settings will be restored in full.
•
Backup files created with a different FRITZ!Box of the
same model.
If you apply settings from a backup file that was created
with a different FRITZ!Box of the same model, then you
can restore all settings if the backup file was protected
with a password.
•
Backup files created with a different FRITZ!Box model.
If you apply settings from a backup file that was created
with a FRITZ!Box of a different model, then you can re-
store several selected settings to your FRITZ!Box.
A wizard is available in the FRITZ!Box user interface to assist
you in restoring your FRITZ!Box settings, guiding you through
the process step by step.

the settings in the backup file.
