Configuration Backup & Restore

This tool will backup and restore the complete RAVENNA configuration. It is ideal if you need to exchange a
device. Note that this function is identical to the

Backup and restore config

function available from the

Expert

Settings

menu of the RAVENNA Web UI.

To create a backup:

Open the

Landing page

in service mode, select

Configuration Backup & Restore

and then click on the

graphical preview.

The Configuration backup & restore page opens in a new browser tab:

Select

Download configuration backup

- you are asked what to do with the "config-backup.tar.gz" file.

Select either

Save

Save As

to save the file locally onto your computer.

Once the download is complete, a confirmation message appears.
