Data backup /Data restore and system updates
For this configuration step, navigate to the following menus
Data backup offers the option of completely backing up the current system configuration in order to quickly perform a recovery if
required.
The backup and restore will be done in two steps:
Step 1: Perform a backup
Open
Backup
. Under Save Configuration, click Backup to locally save a backup file to your download directory. Since the
backup function is system-critical, CS141 asks for the valid administrator password.
This data backup can be run with any CS141 using a similar or higher OEM firmware version. Please note changing the file
name will cause the backup file to lose its validity. As a consequence, CS141 will show an error message.
Step 2: Restoring data
Importing a backup will use the same menu:
Use drag'n'drop to place the packed file into the box or left click on the box to open a file
browser and double-click on the desired backup file. With Restore, the recovery process
will be triggered. During recovery process, CS141 unpacks the file and automatically takes
over as a current configuration. After completing the process, you will automatically be
logged out and have to re-login with credentials according to the backup.
Restoring network data
If you back up multiple identically configured web managers, you can exclude IP address
settings from recovery. By doing so, previously configured IP address entries will persist
while restoring all other configurations.
Please note that backups from a CS141 are compatible with any CS141 of the same or later firmware: If you use the backup on
a CS141 with an older firmware, problems may arise. This behaviour is reasoned by general improvements as well as new
features older firmware versions cannot work properly with. In some cases, it is possible the backup does not work.
