WMI for Administrators > Management > Backup Configuration

Backup Configuration
The Backup Configuration form allows you to set the KVM/net to use an FTP server to save and retrieve its configuration data.
For the backup configuration to work, the FTP server must be on the same subnet as the KVM/net. Ping the FTP server, to ensure that it is accessible from the KVM/net.
Selecting Management>Backup Configuration in Expert mode brings up the form shown in the following figure.
KVM Backup Configuration
You can use the form to specify an FTP server for saving the KVM/net configuration, so you can retrieve the configuration if it is ever erased. You can also use the form for retrieving a copy of the backed up configuration file from the FTP server.
The FTP server must be on the same subnet. Ensure that it is accessible by pinging the FTP server.
The following table describes the information you need to enter in the fields on the “Backup Configuration” form when FTP is selected from the “Type” drop-down list.
Path and Filename
Path of a directory on the FTP server where you have write access for saving the backup copy of the configuration file. Specify a filename if you want to save the file under another name. For example, to save the configuration file in a file whose name identifies its origin and date (such as KVM8802config040406) in a directory called “upload” on the FTP server, you would enter the following in the “Path and Filename” field: upload/KVM8802config040406.
Username for accessing FTP server (check with the FTP server’s administrator, if needed to obtain the username and password to use),
