Avaya 1010/1020 User Guide 55
Saving and Restoring a System Configuration
You can save and restore a system configuration only from the web administration interface.
Note: System restore is not supported with the FireFox browser or other browsers based
on Mozilla code.
The System Save feature creates a text file that contains command line interface
commands to restore a saved configuration. The saved configuration includes all the
preferences that can be set through the command line interface, except the command line
interface password and the password for the default SNMP user. You can edit the file
manually to customize the configuration. The System Restore feature restores a system
configuration using the saved configuration file.
Note: Configuration preferences and options vary across Avaya system software
releases. Restoring a system configuration using a file saved from a different model
or software release may produce unexpected results. Avaya recommends that you
restore a configuration that was saved from the same system or the same system
model and software release.
To save a system configuration from the web administration interface, follow these steps:
1. In the web administration interface, navigate to Preferences : System : System Reset.
If you wish to save system passwords in the file, select Save passwords. Passwords
saved with this option are not encrypted.
2. Click System Save.
3. In the Download file dialog box, click Yes.
4. When prompted, choose a location in which to save the configuration file and then click
Save.
