Download Backup Files

Because backup files are text-based and binary format, you can edit them in a text editor. You can restore the device configuration in binary format and view the configurations in text format. This is useful when you want to make modification before restoring the backup such as an error occurring during restore.

After creating a backup file as described in BackUp Nodes and Clusters, you can down load the file by doing the following:

1.

On the right side of the top navigation bar, click .

2.

On the left navigation pane, select System > Backup/Restore > Physical Nodes to open the Backup Files page.

The Backup Files page lists the backup files created from a scheduled or immediate backup.

3.

Click the “Show Config” link on the backup record row to view the file contents of the file you wish to restore.

4.

From the preview panel, click Download.

5.

The backup file will be downloaded to the local environment.
