Backing up and restoring your settings
When you have finished configuring the appliance’s
settings, we recommend that you back them up, so
that you can quickly restore them should you need to
restore the appliance’s software in the unlikely event
of a problem. Details on restoring the appliance’s
software are described in
“Restoring and upgrading
the appliance’s software” on page 57 .

To back up the appliance’s settings to a set of
configuration files:
1. Open the web browser on the computer on

configuration files.
