Managing Appliance Configuration Databases

An on-board database contains all of the settings for an appliance. This includes network settings, AVRIQ configurations, SNMP settings and attached servers. You may save this configuration information to a client-based file and, should you ever need to replace your AutoView 1000R/2000R, restore the configuration file to the new appliance and avoid manually configuring it.

NOTE: User account information is stored in the user database, not in the confi guration fi le.

For more information, see Managing User Databases in this chapter.
