20 Saving and Restoring Settings
All of the settings you configure in the FRITZ!Box can be saved
in a backup file. With this file you can restore your settings at
any time:
• in the same FRITZ!Box or another FRITZ!Box of the same
model
• in a different FRITZ!Box model.
In this case you can select which settings are to be ap-
plied to the FRITZ!Box.
