Recovering Your Device Configuration
Copying Your Iomega StorCenter px12-450r Settings to Other Devices
The Configuration Backup and Restore page allows you to back up and restore system configuration
information. Backing up a configuration saves various system properties, including users, groups,
device identification, and Share names and permissions. Configuration information is saved to a file,
and you can save as many versions of the file as you want. After backing up the configuration, you
can restore it to your px12-450r at any time. You can also apply the configuration backup to other
Iomega StorCenter devices of the same model, effectively using the configuration as a template.
Note:
Configuration Backup and Restore does not back up or restore any data files on your px12-
450r.
