oBackup and Restore Configurations—Access point configurations can be saved as data files and later used to restore the access point configuration. This option lets you save access point settings in an external file or copy them from an external file to the access point. You can save an entire configuration for use as a backup to a single access point, or you can save a basic configuration, which can then be used in common by several access points in a network, providing an easy way to reconfigure all access points in a network.

You must have a TFTP server set up on which to store the backup files.
