# Saving configuration data

(Maintenance Data backup view)

You have now reached the last step in the Configuration Assistant. Your communication system is now configured and ready for operation. You can also make changes at any time later on and to adapt the communication server even more precisely to your customer’s requirements.

Before you complete the work here, you should create a backup of the configuration data and check the automatic data backup settings.

The automatic data backup function creates a backup of the configuration data at regular intervals and saves the backup files on the communication server’s file management system. A backup file is created daily in the default setting.

You can use the distribution service to copy the backup files to an FTP server or e-mail them. This assumes that the SMTP server has been set up (Configuration / IP network / SMTP server view). In the default setting the distribution service is deactivated.

## Creating manual backup

1. At the top of the view select the entry Configuration data under Manual data backup.

2. At the top of the view click the Create backup button in the area of the manual backup.

   The backup file is created and compressed to a .zip file.

3. Save the compressed backup file to a data carrier of your choice.
