Managing the configuration backup history
The Configuration Management page displays a Configuration Backup History list, which provides
the details of the configuration files that are backed up for the current CPE.
In BIMS, you can create a one-off or periodical task for backing up CPE configurations. When
these tasks are executed, the backed up configuration files and the related information are recorded
in the Configuration Backup History list of the CPE. This list also allows you to modify and export
configuration files, configure a configuration file as the baseline, restore CPE configuration, compare
configuration files, and delete CPE configuration backup history.
