“Backing up system files” on page F-4 and “Restoring system files” on page F-8.<br />

see “Restoring configuration files using the command line” on page F-14.<br />

This feature enables you to backup and restore <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong><br />

configuration files. Backing up the configuration files enables you to<br />

quickly restore a <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> to its desired operational state. Note<br />

that this is different from the full system file backup and restore<br />

capabilities described in the Troubleshooting appendix. Table 3-2<br />

shows the difference between a configuration backup and a system<br />

file backup.<br />

Note: Use a full system file backup after adding new hardware. See “Performing a full<br />

system backup (level0)” on page F-5.<br />
