From firmware version 14, it is possible to save and restore touchONE-manager / the entire reservation suite configuration using a backup file.
## Backup
- To create a backup file, select "**Backup**** ****/ Restore**" and then click "**Backup**".
- If you want to save the IP settings of the touchONE-manager (including proxy settings and security settings 802.1x incl. certificates) in the backup file, tick the appropriate checkbox.
- You will create a **backup**** ****file** using the "Backup" button. Once created, the backup file will automatically be downloaded to your computer and saved to the downloaded file folder. The name of this file is in the "ReservationSuiteName_date_time.backup" format. The file is encrypted and protected using a password to access the reservation suite administration. Therefore keep your current password in a safe place, as without a password the configuration can not be restored.
## Restore
- To **restore**** **the configuration from the file, select "**Backup**** ****/**** ****Restore**" and then click "**Restore**".
- Then press the "**Select**** ****a**** ****backup**** ****file**" button and choose the backup file for your reservation suite on your computer.
- In the "**Password**" field, enter the password for access to the reservation suite (valid at the moment of the backup file creation).
- Then confirm the restoration with the "**Restore**" button. The restoration takes about 60 seconds.
- If you need to restore the configuration of the new touchONE-manager unit (where the reservation suite has not been created yet, i.e. a unit with the factory default setting), select "Restore" on the home screen. Then follow the procedure above.
