Backing Up and Restoring the System

When the router is working as configured, you can back up the configuration for
restoring later. During backup, your settings are saved as a file on your PC. You can
restore the router's settings from this file.
!
CAUTION During a restore operation, do not try to go online, turn off the router, shut down the
PC, or do anything else to the router until the operation is complete. This should
take about a minute. When the test light turns off, wait a few more seconds before
doing anything with the router.
To back up a configuration or restore a previously-saved configuration, select
Administration > Backup/Restore Settings.
To restore your saved settings from a backup file, click Browse, locate and select
the file, and click Restore. An alert page displays the status of the restore
operation. After the restore, the router restarts automatically with the restored
settings.
To save a copy of your router’s startup configuration, click Backup Startup
Configuration. The browser downloads the configuration file and prompts you to
save the file on the PC.
To save a copy of your router’s mirror configuration, click Backup Mirror
Configuration. The browser downloads the configuration file and prompts you to
save the file on the PC.
The mirror image is the last working configuration. The startup configuration is the
configuration that the device used to boot up. The startup and mirror
configurations can differ. For example, if you made changes to the current
configuration but forgot to save it, after 24 hours, the device automatically saves
the currently-running configuration as the “mirror” image. But if the device crashed
during the 24 hour window, then the device will use the startup configuration to
boot up.
To copy the mirror configuration file to the startup configuration file, click Copy
Mirror to Startup. This replaces the startup configuration file with the mirror
configuration file. You may want to do this if the device crashed and you had to
reset the device to factory defaults. After you perform the factory reset, the mirror
image is not erased, and you can copy it to the startup configuration to allow the
device to use the configuration to boot up.
