Backing Up and Restoring Configurations
You can import and export PTP 850 configuration files. This enables you to copy the system configuration to
multiple PTP 850 units. You can also backup and save configuration files.
Configuration files can only be copied between units of the same type, i.e., PTP 850E to PTP 850E to PTP 850E.

Configuration Management Overview
System configuration files consist of a zip file that contains three components:
•
A binary configuration file used by the system to restore the configuration.
•
A text file which enables users to examine the system configuration in a readable format. The file includes the
value of all system parameters at the time of creation of the backup file.
•
An additional text file which enables you to write CLI scripts in order to make desired changes in the backed-
up configuration. This file is executed by the system after restoring the configuration.
The system provides three restore points to manage different configuration files. Each restore point contains a
single configuration file. Files can be added to the restore points by creating backups of the current system state or
by importing them from an external server. For example, you may want to use one restore point to keep a last
good configuration, another to import changes from an external server, and the third to store the current
configuration.
You can apply a configuration file to the system from any of the restore points.
Viewing Current Backup Files
The system provides three restore points to manage different configuration files. Each restore point contains a
single configuration file. Files can be added to the restore points by creating backups of the current system state or
by importing them from an external server. For example, you may want to use one restore point to keep a last
good configuration, another to import changes from an external server, and the third to store the current
configuration.
