NOTE: If there is only one backup file on the FTP server, the system will automatically transfer
this file to the controller. If there are multiple files, it will show the list of all available files and
you will be prompted to select the file that you want to transfer. If the backup files are in the
root directory, use "/" in {directory}. If the backup files are in a subdirectory, use
"/{subdir}/{subdir}" to indicate the subdirectory in which the system should check.
4. After all backup files for all nodes have been transferred from the FTP server to the controller,
run the restore local command to restore the backup file to the controller.
ruckus# restore local
This action will REBOOT the system. Do you want to only restore
this SCG node (yes/no)? yes

Please choose a backup version to restore (ex: 1, 2, ...):2
5. Verify that the following message appears on each node:
Remote restore process completed
This indicates that the node is ready for the restore process.
6. Once all nodes are ready for the restore process, run the restore command for all nodes at
the same time.
Backing Up and Restoring Configuration
Configuration backup creates a backup of all existing configuration information on the controller.
In additional to backing up a different set of information, configuration backup is different from
cluster backup in a few ways:
• The configuration backup file is smaller, compared to the cluster backup file.
• The controller can be configured to back up its configuration to an external FTP server
automatically.
• Configuration backup does not back up any statistical files or general system configuration.
Backed Up Configuration Information
The following list show which configuration information will be backing up.
• AP zones
• AP zone global configuration
• Zone templates
• WLAN templates
• AP registration rules
• Access point information
• General system settings
• Web certificate
