Backup Configuration allows you to back up (save) the WX Device’s current configuration to a file on
your computer. Once your WX Device is configured and functioning properly, it is highly recommended
that you back up your configuration file before making configuration changes. The backup
configuration file will be useful in case you need to return to your previous settings.
