Backing Up a ZoneDirector Configuration

After you have set up and configured your wireless network, you may want to back up the full ZoneDirector configuration for future use.

The resulting archive can be used to restore your ZoneDirector to the saved settings after a factory reset. Whenever you make additions or changes to the setup, you can create new backup files, so that in case of any configuration errors, you can always revert to the last known good settings using the backup file.

Complete the following steps to back up your current ZoneDirector configuration to a backup file from the ZoneDirector web interface.
  1. Go to Administer > Backup.
  2. Under the Back Up Configuration, click Back up. The File Download dialog box is displayed.
  3. Click Save.
  4. In the Save As dialog box, enter a name for this archive file, select a destination folder, and click Save.
    Note: RUCKUS recommends adding the firmware version number to the backup file name so that you can easily identify which backup files were created on which firmware version. By default, only the backup date is included in the file name.
    Note: Make sure the filename ends in a .bak extension.
  5. When the Download Complete dialog box is displayed, click Close.
