9.2 Configuration File Management
Once your device is configured and functioning properly, it is highly recommended that you
back up your configuration file before making configuration changes. The backup
configuration file will be useful in case you need to return to your previous settings.
Use this menu item to manage, back up and restore configuration files for specific devices or
for multiple devices in a specific folder. If you back up multiple devices in a specific folder,
you can manage and restore the configuration files at the folder level or individually by device.
You can back up configuration files to Vantage CNM or to your computer. If you back up a
configuration file to Vantage CNM, you can only restore that configuration file to that device,
even if other devices are the same model and are running the same firmware.
