Back Up and Manage the Extender Configuration
When the extender works correctly after initial setup, we recommend that you back up the extender
configuration settings. After you back up the settings, if you change the extender configuration settings but
are not content with the new settings, you can restore the extender configuration to the backed-up settings.
