Configuration deviation

product configuration. The initial copy of a product configuration backup becomes the baseline
configuration. Once the baseline configuration is established, the Management application
compares all additional product configuration backup files to the baseline configuration for
deviation. You can view configuration deviation status on the Status Bar of the Management
application window.
