Restore configuration
The Restore configuration group box enables you to reload a previously saved backup
configuration file.
This feature enables you to maintain several configuration files with different settings, which
can be useful if you must frequently alter the configuration of the service controller or if you
are managing several service controllers from a central site.
Use the following steps to restore a saved configuration file.
1. Select Maintenance > Config file management. The Config file management page
opens.
2. In the Restore configuration group box under Manual restore, select Browse to
navigate to and select the configuration file that you want to restore.
3. If the configuration file is protected with a password (see Backup configuration on
page 15-2) you must supply the correct password to restore the complete configuration.
If you supply an invalid password, all settings are restored except the certificates.
4. To upload the selected file to the service controller, select Restore.
Note The service controller automatically restarts when the upload is complete.
Scheduled operations
The Scheduled operations group box enables you to schedule unattended backups or
restorations of the service controller configuration file. See also Performing a scheduled
software update on page 15-6.

configuration file.
