If you want or need to revert to a previously saved configuration backup, you can restore the backup file. The filename has a .bin extension and includes the software version. build number, and a designation of the type of backup (full, policy, pki, or platform). For example, a backup file of the policy configuration in v4.3.1.1 would have a name similar to the following example:

policy-4.3.1.1-219692.20180625T145923.bin
