The Save and Restore Command Line Tool is a VBScript (SavResDX.vbs) that allows you to copy the current adapter and team settings into a standalone file (such as on a floppy disk) as a backup measure. In the event of a hard drive failure, you can reinstate most of your former settings. This script does not save/restore the network drivers or the protocol addresses.
The Save and Restore command line tool is available on the product CD in the \APPS\WMI directory and is available for download as part of the Administrative Tools for Intel® Network Adapters.
The system on which you restore network configuration settings must have the same configuration as the one on which the save was performed.
| Note |
Only adapter settings are saved (these include ANS teaming and VLANs). The adapter's driver and IP address are not saved. |
| Note |
Restore using the script only once. Restoring multiple times may result in unstable configuration. |
| Note |
The Restore operation requires the same OS as when the configuration was Saved. | |
