The Backup Configuration feature provides a simple way to save the entire Monitoring Studio configuration by backing it up to a file for later reuse. The configuration saved in a configuration file (.cfg) can then be loaded onto a different PATROL Agent through the PATROL interface. The main benefits are:
| • | It eliminates the trouble of manually configuring Monitoring Studio on another PATROL Agent all over again |
| • | It ensures both configurations are identical |
To back up the entire Monitoring Studio configuration
| 1. | Right-click the main Monitoring Studio icon > KM commands > Configuration > Backup Configuration. |

| 7. | (Optional) Overwrite the existing file: Select this option if the file already exists and you wish to replace it. |
| 8. | Click Next and wait while Monitoring Studio backs up the configuration. |
