Configuration backup and restore

Role:  ROBAR administrator

The CMX and ROBAR configuration files are backed up once only. Any backup archive which already exists is deleted by subsequent backups or when a backup archive is uploaded.

The following functions enable you to back up and restore the CMX and ROBAR configuration files and to upload backup archives.
The tasks are described in the online help.

If a backup has been successful, the archive name (<server name>_ROBAR_conf_<yyyy-mm-dd_hh:mm:ss>.backup.tar.gz) is displayed in the Archive name area.
