Quick Rollback

As the counterpart to the automatic backup of device configurations, you can restore configuration backups with a single click. Just highlight the device and select Device > Quick rollback. LANconfig lists all of the device configurations that have been saved under the path for the automatic device-configuration backups. If LANconfig cannot find a backup file for the selected device, it cancels this action with a warning message.

Important: LANconfig allocates the configuration backup to the device by using the serial number stored in the meta data of the backup. As of LCOS8.84 the serial number is automatically written to the backup; for older configuration backups without the serial number, you need to add these manually in order for Quick Rollback to recognize the files. Please also refer to Advanced meta data for configuration files.

To restore a configuration backup, select an entry and click on Restore.

You also have the option to add comments to the configuration backups, or edit existing comments: The Edit description button () enables you to edit the field below it containing the comment text. Click on Save description () to write the text in the comment box back to the backup file.

Note: Quick Rollback is not available for switches.
