You can back up your Security Desk or
Config Tool user options to an XML file and use
it to restore your settings, either on a new workstation or on the same one following a reset of
your machine.
What you should know
The backup includes all the user options listed in the
Options
window, except those for plugins. While Security Desk and Config Tool have different sets of user options, some
apply to both applications. When restoring user options, common settings from the backup are
applied to both Security Desk and Config Tool.
Procedure
To back up the configuration for your user options:
-
From the homepage, click Options.
-
At the lower left of the window, click Backup.
-
In the dialog box that opens, choose a file name and click
Save.
To restore the configuration for your user options:
-
From the homepage, click Options.
-
At the lower left of the window, click Restore.
-
In the dialog box that opens, select the file and click
Open.
-
Restart the application to apply the changes.
NOTE: If your user options are restored on a workstation running a different version of
Security Desk or Config Tool than the one from where they were
backed up, it might not work.
