You can save the configuration file to a different system to back up and preserve crucial 
configuration data. If you make a mistake while configuring your appliance, you can “roll back” to 
the most recently saved configuration file. 

You can download the existing configuration file to view the entire configuration for an appliance 
quickly. (Many newer browsers include the ability to render XML files directly.) This may help you 
troubleshoot minor errors (like typographic errors) that may exist in the current configuration. 

You can download an existing configuration file, make changes to it, and upload it to the same 
appliance. This, in effect, “bypasses” both the CLI and the GUI for making configuration changes. 

You can upload entire configuration file via FTP access, or you can paste portions of or an entire 
configuration file directly into the CLI. 

Because the file is in XML format, an associated DTD (document type definition) that describes all 
of the XML entities in the configuration file is also provided. You can download the DTD to validate 
an XML configuration file before uploading it. (XML Validation tools are readily available on the 
Internet.) 

You can download an existing configuration file from one Cisco appliance, make changes to it, and 
upload it to a different appliance. This lets you manage an installation of multiple Cisco appliances 
more easily. Currently you may not load configuration files from C/X-Series appliances onto an 
M-Series appliance.

You can divide an existing configuration file downloaded from one Cisco into multiple subsections. 
You can modify those sections that are common among all appliances (in a multiple appliance 
environment) and load them onto other appliances as the subsections are updated. 

For example, you could use an appliance in a test environment for testing the Global Unsubscribe 
command. When you feel that you have configured the Global Unsubscribe list appropriately, you 
could then load the Global Unsubscribe configuration section from the test appliance to all of your 
production appliances. 

To use the GUI to manage configuration files on your Cisco appliance, click the Configuration File link 
on the System Administration tab.

The Configuration File page contains three sections:

Current Configuration - used to save and export the current configuration file.

Load Configuration - used to load a complete or partial configuration file.

Reset Configuration - used to reset the current configuration back to the factory defaults (you 
should save your configuration prior to resetting it).

Using the Current Configuration section of the System Administration > Configuration File page, you 
can save the current configuration file to your local machine, save it on the appliance (placed in the 

configuration

 directory in the FTP/SCP root), or email it to the address specified.
