l Select an existing file from the list that will then be overwritten.
l Enter the name for the backup file directly in the input field.You can
also write in subdirectories by specifying the entire path name (e. g.
directory/file). If the required directories do not yet exist, they are
created automatically. The backup files are assigned the .xml suffix
automatically if you have not specified one.

which the GUI runs. There are two ways of specifying the backup file:

file will be saved on the desktop.
l Click Browse to open the file selection dialog box in which you can
navigate to the desired folder and select an existing backup file or
specify the name of the backup file. If the file exists, it will be over-
written.
7. Once you have specified a backup file, click Next to go to the Select
Data step of the wizard.
8. In Select servers to save, select the servers whose configuration you
wish to save. Do not select any servers if you only wish to save profiles.

too.

if the assigned profiles are to be reassigned once the configuration
has been restored.
