Backup - Restore - Cloning

Creating a backup

When a system is fully configured, it is recommended to do a backup of the complete settings.

This backup can be used for:

To restore the settings on the same computer – in case of emergency.

To clone the settings to another computer or another user on the same computer.

 

 

Click

‘Backup Configuration’
