Backing Up and Restoring Device Settings

Unlike the bulk configuration file, the backup file contains all device settings, including device data such as device names and all network settings. To back up or restore HPDU device settings, perform the Backup/Restore feature.

All HPDU information is captured in the plain-TEXT-formatted backup file except for the device logs and TLS certificate.

1. To download a backup HPDU file:
   1. Verify that you have the Administrator Privileges or Unrestricted View Privileges to download a backup file.
   2. Select Maintenance → Backup/Restore.
   3. Select Backup Format. If the selected value does not match your need, you can change it.
   4. If the selected value (see the following table) does not match your need, you can change it.

      Option Description Encrypted Partial content is base64 encoded. Its content is encrypted using the AES-128 encryption algorithm. File is saved to the TXT format. Cleartext Content is displayed in clear text. File is saved to the TXT format.

   5. Click Download Device Settings.
   6. Save the file on your computer.
2. To restore the HPDU using a backup file:
   1. Verify that you have the Administrator Privileges to restore the device settings.
   2. Select Maintenance → Backup/Restore.
   3. Click Browse and select the backup file.
   4. Click Upload & Restore Device Settings to upload the file.
   5. When prompted, type the admin password, and click Restore.
   6. Wait until the HPDU device resets and the Login page appears, indicating that the restore is complete.

      Note -  On startup, the HPDU performs all of its functions, including event rules and logs, based on the new configuration you copied instead of the previous configuration prior to the device reset. For example, the Bulk configuration copied event is logged only when the new configuration file contains the Bulk configuration copied event rule.

      ---

   If you copied any bulk configuration or device backup file to the HPDU, the last record displays at the bottom of both the Bulk Configuration and Backup/Restore pages.

   To use a different bulk configuration method, see Bulk Configuration through SCP Bulk Configuration via SCP (on page 94).
