Creating a Web Console Configuration Backup
The following procedure uses the Orion Web Configuration Backup/Restore utility to
create a backup of your Orion Web Console configuration.
Note: The Web Configuration Backup/Restore utility does not create a backup of the
Orion Platform database. As a result, configuration backups do not retain any of the
network device data or statistics for any monitored network objects. For more
information about creating a backup of your Orion Platform database, see "Managing
the SolarWinds UDT Database"
