Backup and Restore¶
You can create a backup of the CMTK settings which can be used to restore or duplicate the state.
Create a backup¶
You will find the backup settings under Settings > Gateway Settings > General
Click on Create backup and download to open the dialog:
Before downloading, you can decide, if the backup should include the network settings. If you intend to duplicate the settings, this can lead to IP conflicts. It is recommended that you don't back up the network settings if you want to transfer the settings to a new device. If you want to restore the settings to the same device, you can back up the network settings.
Warning
Settings of connected sensors won't be backed up.
