Backup or Migrate your configuration

This feature helps you take a backup of your DaaS configurations.

It also facilitates immediate rebounding of a site in times of emergencies.

You can use the following methods to take backups:

  1. Backup + Restore
    1. Integrated with Studio.
  2. Automated Configuration Tool (ACT)
    1. Powershell-based tool. Install the tool to use it. See Download Automated Configuration.
