Backup and restore airport configurations

Is there an easy way to backup and restore the configuration of an airport extreme, Time Capsule or Airport Express?
I know I can "Save as" to create a .baseconfig file, but the only way I can figure out how to restore it to that state again after a firmware reset is to manually open the .baseconfig, and then go through each screen, field-by-field, and manually recreate each value from scratch on the device.
Has anybody figured out how to do this more efficiently (like "restore configuration from backup")?
Thanks!
Steve

Wow. I've seen the import before, but it's always been grayed out. I can't believe that the [Manual Setup] was the only step I was missing. I've been "manually" going from screen-to-screen in both the AE and .baseconfig screens and updating each field manually...
Thanks for pointing out what I should have figured out a LONG, tedious time ago. I mean that "thanks" with no sarcasm at all, only sincerity and a little bit of humility!!!!
Thanks again!
Steve

  • Backup and Restore Router Configuration

    Hello All,
    I have a working and fully functional Cisco 1940 Series Router in my office, and I recently bought a Cisco Router 881 series for my small home office, I have a backup of the functional 1940 router, can I restore it on the 881 series and change the WAN parameters in the process. Will it work?
    Please help, I don't want to go through paying someone to configure it please.

    Yes. You must simply replace the interface name only.
    E.g.  Fastethernet 0/0 on the 1941 will be Vlan1 on the 881.
    Please add the "show run" of the 1941 and the 881 (without password).
    I can send you a config example for 881 based on 1941 config.
    Regards.

  • Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect. Backup and Restore function not working. "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID"

    Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect.  Backup and Restore function not working. Message is: "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID."  My Blackberry Messenger and Blackberry World is working fine so I am sure its not an ID issue on the phone.  I can sign into Link, Blackberry.com and Protect.  I see my device in Protect but cannot send messages or view it on a map.  Times out with cannot reach device message.  BB Protect on Device has a swirling circle beside the on/of switch.  Cannot turn off.  
    I have deleted Link and re-installed.
    I have reset phone to default(factory) and signed in. 
    OS level is 10.2.1.3062
    BB Link is 1.2.3.56
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I managed to figure this out myself. I had to delete the device from the Blackberry Protect website.  protect.blackberry.com.  I wiped my device again and signed in with my Blackberry ID.  I dont know if the step of wiping was necessary as I did not try my backup with the current configuration on the device following the delete.  Restore is in progress for me!

  • Exchange Server 2013 backup and restoration question

    Good afternoon
    I am wondering if I can pick people's brains here if that's not too much trouble.
    I have recently implemented an Exchange 2013 environment with 3 servers (two multi-role CAS & MBX physical machines, and one further virtual CAS server). Everything is working correctly and mail-flow is fine. My question relates to backup and restoration
    procedures. I am running a single Database Availability group with the two multi-role servers members of the this group and I have one Mailbox Database on the DAG, passive on one member and active on the other. Failover has been tested and this is functioning
    as expected.
    The backup environment I have implemented is as follows. I have utilized a separate Microsoft DPM 2012 server that runs a nightly Bare Metal backup on both multi-role servers with a retention range of 14 days and I have protected the DAG using DPM with a
    nightly full-express backup and 4 hourly syncs on one of the multi-role servers. Furthermore the Mailbox Database is protected, again nightly with a copy-backup.
    I am confident I know what to do should the mailbox database become corrupted or lost or need to be restored for one reason or another (it would just be a case of restoring the backed up mailbox database using DPM to a pre-created recovery database), what
    I am not quite so sure on is what I would do should I lose one or both of the multi-role CAS and MBX servers (the third CAS I am not so worried about as it is not used for incoming mail flow from the internet and we really only use it for ECP as we did not
    want to expose this to the internet). I wonder what process should follow to restore my Exchange servers (I know how to perform the Bare Metal recoveries using WSB) and what configuration would be required after restoring the Bare Metal backups.
    I know this is a reasonably long question but if anyone has any advice for me I would appreciate it greatly in the unlikely event something goes horribly wrong with my Exchange environment.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Yes, Most of the configuration settings are stored in AD. Mail data and personal related data are store in Mailbox DB. We just need to take consideration of these two points.

  • Full OS backup and restoration

    I have a Win 2012 R2 server installed on a Dell PE730 box. The box is highly critical and there are lot of configurations in that server that I want to create a full backup and incase of failure of the box, the backup should be useful to restore the box
    with all configurations.
    I don't use any third party tools for backup - use Windows backup role in Win 2012, also plans to use the Windows feature itself to restore also.
    What is the best method of creating a backup and restore plan. Pls suggest

    Hi,
    You can use a full server backup to perform all types of recoveries, including system state and bare metal recoveries. We recommend this option. Then you could recover your server operating system or full server by using Windows Recovery Environment.
    For more detailed information, you could refer to the articles below:

  • Restore Backup made with Backup and Restore W7 x64

    Hi ....
    Im really looking for some help here...
    I had my laptop stolen and my now trying to recover a 2013 Backup Image made with a Windows tool called Backup and Restore.
    The backup was made with a W7 SP1 64bit using Windows own Backup/Restore utility to create a system image on an external HDD connected by USB port. 
    The application saved the image into a folder called WindowsImageBackup. Inside this folders there are 2 *.VHD file
    So as my laptop was Stolen, im trying to recover this old Backup and save my files again.
    I would like to restore that previous Image. These are the steps I took:
    1) Plugged in the HDD.
    2) I went to Control Panel->Backup and Restore.
    3) I selected 'Select another backup to restore files from'.
    4) In the Restore Files (Advanced) dialogue, my backup isn't showing into the box, because its on my external drive, so i choose browse network location
    5) I clicked 'browse network location' button, and it takes me to another restore files (advanced) dialogue that asks for network folder path.  I tried to locate my external HD, without success. So i tried Search Network. As i also have a copy of my
    backup on my NAS, i tried to inform the network IP path, but it didnt locate the backup either. I get the error that windows was not able to find any backup sets in that directory. 
    6) As the step 5 resulted in nothing, i tried the option: Recover system settings or Computer. And then Advanced recovery methods. And finally use previously system image to recover computer. And then Windows asks to reboot the computer and once rebooted
    it starts on recovery mode where it cant find my backup image either.
    So, how can i recover my backup?
    I saw that the Backup created 2 VHD files and also tried to mount the VHD using Disk Management and attaching the VHD. The VHD mounted as drive and i could finally see my files, but most of them are corrupted. So i dont know if im doing something wrong when
    attaching the VHD.
    Can anyone help me please? I dont know what else to try.
    Thanks a lot
    Flavio.

    Hi activenew,
    To recover from one of these problems, you can restore the Microsoft Windows operating system from a system state backup. You can restore a system state backup to the same
    physical computer from which the system state backup was created, or to a different physical computer that has the same make, model, and configuration (identical hardware).
    However, we do not support restoring a system state backup from one computer to a second computer of a different make, model, or hardware configuration. We only provide commercially
    reasonable efforts to support this process. Even if the source and destination computers seem to be identical makes and models, the source computers may have different drivers, hardware, or firmware than the destination computers.

    My apps store will not go online with verizon network, but on wifi it works. I am on an iphone 4, verizon.  I tried to do a complete, backup and restore on the phone 1 day before i noticed this problem,  The backup finished but the RESTORE would fail I had an error, could not access Apple server ( some server name I cant remember).
    I have plenty of space available on the iphone,
    8gb free,
    ios version- 6.1.3 ( 10B329)
    carrier - Verizon 14.0
    Modem Firmware - 3.0.04
    Can someone help.
    I tried doing my backup restore on the same computer as I once did a year ago. and THis time I cant do the restore on the iphone.
    computer osx is 10.5.8
    itunes version 10.
    I do not wish to go to ios 7 at this time.

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue continues, contact the carrier to troubleshoot the network connectivity issues.

  • 2013 Backup and Restore

    When I go to my backup and Restore and check the job status it tells me there is a backup in progress:
    A backup or restore is currently in progress
    How do I reset this as there is no backup that I have run for some time?

    Hi, 
    According to your post, my understanding is that the job status still shown “A
    backup or restore is currently in progress”.
    Did you delete a old search application and recreate a new one before?
    If so, maybe the old object is still existing in SQL, you can used the following stsadm command:
    Stsadm -o deleteconfigurationobject -id “object GUID”
    To find the object GUID, simply go into Central Admin - Manage Service Applications and highlight the offending legacy service application (Search Service
    Application in the case). You should now be able to see the GUID in the IE address bar. Run the command above, and try your backups again and all should be well.

  • Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

    Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

    It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
    Here is what I have tried...
    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.

  • Windows 8 full system backup and restore to new laptop (system with 32GB mSata Cache)?

    Hi, I have a new Envy DV7-7205 which has 2TB storage with 32GB HDD Cache (or mSata, not really sure how it's implemented). I need to return the laptop as it's faulty but I would like to startup on the replacement exactly where I left off.
    Are there any special methods required to backup and restore the system image from the old laptop to the new one, particularly with consideration to the 32GB SSD cache, as this doesn;t seem to appear as a distinct "drive" on the system.
    Please can anybody advise the simplest, safest method to move my entire system from old to the new laptops (should be exactly the same spec machine).
    Many thanks,
