LANconfig can automatically save backups of the current configuration prior to changes in firmware or configuration. Global settings to be used for all devices are available under Tools / Options / Backup. Additionally, special backup settings can be defined for individual devices. To access them, right-click the appropriate device and select entry Properties / Backup from the context menu.
Select the following options here:
- Are the global or the device-specific backup settings for this device to be used (in device-specific dialogue only)?
- The event prior to which the configuration is to be saved (firmware upload, configuration change or script execution).
- In which format the configuration is to be saved (configuration file, script - possibly with options).
- In which directory the configuration is to be saved.
- How the file name of the backup file is to be structured. Placeholders can be used for device information (IP address, hardware type, etc.) and time information. Please refer to the online help function for further information on placeholders.
