export to a server will start (if enabled) immediately after the backup completes.

The Archive Name Includes field selects text fields (Date-Time, Hostname, Router Version) included
in archive name.

The Archive Aging field specifies how long nightly backup archives are kept. Note that the most
recently made nightly backup will never be deleted. Manually made archives are never aged and must
be manually deleted.

The Configuration Server Options table allows user define the configuration server.

The Export Method field selects the method of exporting backup archives to a server. If the Export
Method
field is set to FTP, the FTP Options are used. If the Export Method field is set to SCP, the
SCP Options are used.

The FTP Option field specifies FTP User name, Password or to use anonymous FTP .

The SCP Option field specifies SCP User name and Bandwidth Limitation when the Export Method
is SCP. The Show Router SSH Key link will display the ssh public key for this router, which can be
used in the configuration server to accept SCP from the router.

The Save Archive Configuration to field specifies the configuration server hostname (or IP address)
and the directory in which to save configuration archives.

The Save Webmin Configuration to field specifies the configuration server hostname (or IP address)

34.5.2. Configuration Rollback

Figure 34.12. Configuration Rollback menu

The Configuration Rollback menu enables the user to define a period of time in which configuration
changes can be made and subsequently accepted. If the user does not explicitly accept the changes
being made, then the unit will revert to a configuration snapshot that was taken when the user
started the configuration rollback. In reverting to this configuration, the unit will reboot. This enables
configuration changes to be made under a safety net. If a configuration change effectively blocks the
user's access to the unit or has any other detrimental effect, the unit, not seeing any user acceptance,
will reboot at the end of the timeout period.
