Saving and restoring

You can save your blade server configuration and server profiles in files and
restore them later. Backups like these are useful, for example, if you want to
use previous configurations after a new installation.

You can store these backup files both on the management station and locally
on the computer on which the Web GUI runs.

These backup files contain the configurations (networks, uplink sets,
assigned profiles, spare slot definitions) of one or several chassis and/or pro-
files.

You save and restore backup files as well as delete them on the man-
agement station using a wizard. You launch the wizard using the Con-
figuration Backup / Restore
button on the Virtual-IO Manager tab.
