To launch the Platform Restore screen for a collection:
Steps

2012 R2, Configuration Manager 2012 SP1, or Configuration Manager 2012, under Device
Collections, right-click All Dell Lifecycle Controller Servers and select Dell Lifecycle Controller →
Launch Config Utility.

The steps to take a backup of the system configuration for a collection are similar to that of taking a

When the backup files for a collection are created, the backup file for each system is created with the
prefix you specify, followed by the service tag of the system. This format is to manage the backup files
created to ease out the restoring process.
