Viewing and Restoring Backups of Configuration Files

You can view or restore a backup copy of your configuration files (server.xml, magnus.conf, obj.conf, mime types, server.xml.clfilter, magnus.conf.clfilter, obj.conf.clfilter, socks5.conf, bu.conf, icp.conf, parray.pat, parent.pat, proxy-id.acl). This feature lets you go to a previous configuration if you are having trouble with your current configuration. For example, if you several changes to the proxy’s configuration and then the proxy does not work the way you thought it should (for example, you denied access to a URL but the proxy will service the request), you can revert to a previous configuration and then redo your configuration changes.
