Backup" on page 432.

"Restoring Configuration Items " on page 434
l Review details for configuration items after import, including anything that might be different between 3.9
and 6.2 and any actions you might need to take. See "Viewing Imported Item Details " on page 435 and

Creating a Customized Configuration Backup
You can use the Configuration Backup form to create and export a full or customized configuration backup file.
To create a configuration backup:
1. Go to Administration > Import Configuration >Import Configuration, then click the Create a
customized backup link in the upper-right corner. The Configuration Backup form opens.
2. In the Backup Mode drop-down list, select either Complete backup or Custom backup, as appropriate.
3. In the Backup Name field, enter the name of the backup file.
4. If you choose to do a custom backup, the form expands to include the list of items to choose from. When
this list first opens, all items are included by default. Categories are displayed—for example, Guest Manager,
SMS Services, and so on—and subordinate items in the categories are hidden. To configure a custom
backup, use the controls in the Backup Set list to specify just the items you want to include:
l The green arrow and bold font indicate an item and all its subordinate items will be included.
l The blue arrow is a visual aid marking an item as a category that has subordinate items listed below it.
To view the subordinate items, click the blue arrow. If the arrow is gray, there are no subordinate items.
l To exclude an item from the import, click the X in the item's row. The X turns red to indicate it will be
excluded. You can click the X for a category to exclude all items in that category. To include an excluded
item, click the arrow in its row.
5. When you have completed and verified your selections, click Download Backup. The configuration backup
is saved to your Downloads folder as a .dat file. You can then click either the Restore a backup
configuration link, or Import Configuration >Import Configuration in the left navigation to upload
and restore the file.
