Backing Up a Device Configuration

You can back up all user configuration and system configuration files for a selected device. If anything happens to the device, you can restore the previous configurations from CC-SG using the backup file created.

The maximum number of backup files that can be stored on CC-SG is 3 per device. If you need more backups, you can save a backup file to your network then delete it from CC-SG. Or, you can opt to allow CC-SG to delete the oldest backup file for you. This option will appear as an alert when you attempt to do a fourth backup. See Restore All Configuration Data to a KX2, KSX2, or KX2-101 Device.

Each device may back up different components of the configuration. See the User Guide for the device you want to back up for details.

Note: When you back up an SX 3.0.1 device, attached PowerStrip configurations are not backed up. If you restore the SX 3.0.1 device from the backup, you must reconfigure the PowerStrips.

• To backup a device configuration:

1. Click the Devices tab and select the device you want to back up.
2. Choose Devices > Device Manager > Configuration > Backup.
3. Type a name in the Backup name field to identify this backup.
4. Type a short description of the backup in the Description field. Optional.
5. Click OK to back up the device configuration. A message appears when the device configuration has been backed up.
