The configuration backup file used in the restore operation is the one currently stored on the system. Only one configuration backup file is maintained on the system at a time. The contents of the configuration backup file are not affected by the restore operation. The Restore Configuration page displays the status of the configuration backup file currently on the system, including the time and date the file was created.

You can obtain and store a different configuration backup file on the system from any other system in your network (using FTP to perform the file transfer). This allows you to obtain and use any configuration backup file stored on a remote server.
