default configuration.
Note that the modem saves its own settings and components only! If you were installing 3rd party
applications or installing and using your own scripts, the system WILL NOT BACKUP these and these
are not part of the compressed backup file! You must save the additional files, scripts and directories
manually by your own.
You can include or exclude your files and directories in your backup process by using the
Configuration
tab here. You can edit the list with all necessary directories you need.
Of course, you need to know the modem device’s file system to make it right. Therefore, we offer
to check the OpenWrt

system structure, directories by standard Linux-side commands from the
CLI.
When you are ready with the modifications, push the
button for the changes.
