Saving and restoring the library configuration

Edit online

Your library's configuration information is stored in a database on an LCC. If there is an issue with your library's LCC or internal compact flash memory, the library configuration can be restored from a saved configuration file. Otherwise, the library may need to be completely reconfigured.

It is recommended to save the library configuration after initial installation and whenever the library configuration changes
Note: This task can only be accomplished by a user with a service role.
