Chapter 8: Backup and Restore of device
configurations
The Avaya Configuration Backup Restore is an application that allows you to backup and
restore device configurations and configure multiple devices. The Avaya Configuration Backup
Restore uses Secure Copy Protocol (SCP), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), or Trivial File Transfer
Protocol (TFTP) to exchange information with the devices in the network.
To use the FTP or SCP protocols, install an appropriate server on an accessible management
station, and the username, password, and path to the server must be specified in the File
Transfer Protocols tab of the Options dialog box.
