This functionality is available in the System Settings > Settings management tab.
With this function, you can restore configuration settings if they have been saved to a file. If a settings file is not on the "Manually saved settings" list, it should be uploaded. For this purpose, the "Upload settings file" button should be used, and through the "Browse" option, select the file to upload. To complete the action, the "Upload" button must be clicked. After the file is uploaded to the "Manually saved settings" list, you can proceed to restore the settings. To this end, use the "Restore" option from the context menu.
Alternatively, the restoring process will start if the "Apply settings after uploaded" option is enabled during the upload of the settings file.
Regardless of which option has been chosen ("Restore" or the "Apply settings after uploaded"), a popup will appear. There are two types of settings that can be restored:
- System and storage settings which restore the following settings:
- Network, GUI and console configuration, services configuration, time and date settings, e-mail notifications, SNMP, CHAP users access discovery
- Pools settings that restore the following settings:
- Targets, shares, and virtual aliases together with their settings
Note that the structure of the pool itself, i.e. its disk groups, datasets, zvols, snapshots, and clones will not be restored. Also, please remember that only pools imported at the moment of saving the settings will be restored.
You can select which types of settings described above (only System and storage settings, only Pools settings, or both) to restore by enabling the respective toggle button. To confirm, click the "Reboot & Restore" action button. For security reasons, additional verification is needed. On the following popup that appears, the word "reboot" must be typed, and then the “Reboot" button pressed to confirm the execution of restoring the settings. The system will auto-save the current settings before it restores the settings from the selected file. The restored settings are available after the reboot.
