Backup Configuration Files
To back up (upload) the configuration file to a network host or TFTP server:
Step 1 Select Administration > Configuration Management > Download/Backup.
Step 2 Select Via TFTPor Via HTTP/HTTPS as the transfer method.
Step 3 Select Transfer From (Access Point to PC) to backup the configuration data to the PC.
Step 4 For a TFTP backup, enter the Configuration Filename with an.xml extension. Also include the path where the file is to
be stored on the server and then enter the TFTP Server IPv4 Address.
The filename cannot contain the following characters: spaces, <, >, |, \, : , (, ), &, ; , #, ? , *, and two or more successive
periods.
Step 5 Select the configuration file to back up:
• Startup Configuration — Configuration file type used when the WAP device last booted. This does not include
any configuration changes applied but not yet saved to the WAP device.
• Backup Configuration — Backup configuration file type saved on the WAP device.
• Mirror Configuration — If the Startup Configuration is not modified for at least 24 hours, it is automatically saved
to a mirror configuration file. The Mirror Configuration is a snapshot of a past Startup Configuration. The Mirror
Configuration is preserved across factory resets, so it can be used to recover a system configuration after a factory
reset by copying the Mirror Configuration to the Startup Configuration.
Step 6 Click Apply to begin the backup. For HTTP/HTTPS backups, a window appears to enable you to browse to the desired
location for saving the file.
