Backup and Restore of Device Settings
Unlike the bulk configuration file, the backup file contains ALL device
settings, including device-specific data like device names and all
network settings. To back up or restore a BCM2 device's settings, you
should perform the Backup/Restore feature.
All BCM2 information is captured in the plain-TEXT-formatted backup
file except for the device logs and TLS certificate.
Note: To perform bulk configuration among multiple BCM2 devices, use
the Bulk Configuration feature instead. See Bulk Configuration (on page
319).
To download a backup BCM2 file:
You must have the Administrator Privileges or "Unrestricted View
Privileges" to download a backup file.
1. Choose Maintenance > Backup/Restore.
2. Check the Backup Format field. If the chosen value does not match
your need, change it.
