create configuration backup files.

The firmware or the configuration files do not have any filename conventions. There is
not specific file extension or filenames that you need to follow. Therefore, you can
specify any names or file extensions for the firmware and the configuration files.
However, it is recommended to use the “.bin” file extension for the firmware file and
“.rom” for the configuration file to manage the files.
The filename must be less than 15 ASCII characters if you use the
web configurator.
