Backing Up Configuration Files and Mirror Files
To save your startup and mirror configuration files to your computer or a USB Flash 
drive:
STEP 1 Select Backup Configuration File to PC or Backup Configuration File to USB.
STEP  2 Click Backup Startup Configuration or Backup Mirror Configuration. The File 
Download window appears.
STEP  3 Click Save and choose a file location. Optionally, enter a filename and click Save.
TIP The default filenames are Startup.config and Mirror.config. The .config extension is 
required. For easier identification, it might be helpful to enter a filename that 
includes the current date and time.
Copying the Mirror File to the Startup File
You can manually copy the device startup configuration file to the mirror 
configuration file. 
You can use this process to back up a known good configuration before you make 
changes to the startup configuration:
• The startup configuration file is automatically copied to the mirror 
configuration file every 24 hours. 
• When you save changes to the device parameters, the time counter resets 
and the next automatic copy occurs 24 hours later, unless you manually 
force the startup file to be saved as the mirror file. 
To copy the startup file to the mirror file, click Copy Mirror to Startup. The copy 
operation is performed immediately, with no option to cancel. When the operation 
is finished, the page refreshes.
