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.
