7.2.4  Backup/restore 
The backup function allows you to back up the current configuration of the AP to a local computer. 
The restore function allows you to restore the AP to a previous configuration. 
If the AP enters the optimum condition after you greatly change the configuration of the AP, you are 
recommended to back up the new configuration, so that you can restore it after upgrading or 
resetting the AP. 
 
If you need to apply same or similar configurations to many APs, you can configure one of the APs, back 
up the configuration of the AP, and use the backup to restore the configuration on the other APs. This 
improves configuration efficiency. 
Backup the current configuration 
Step 1  Choose Tools > Maintenance > Maintenance.
