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 USB drive) as a backup measure. In the event of a hard drive failure, you can reinstate most of your former settings.
The system on which you restore network configuration settings must have the same configuration as the one on which the save was performed.
NOTES:
|
cscript SavResDX.vbs save|restore [filename] [/bdf]
SavResDX.vbs has the following command line options:
save | Saves adapter and team settings that have been changed from the default settings. When you restore with the resulting file, any settings not contained in the file are assumed to be the default. |
restore | Restores the settings. |
filename | The file to save settings to or restore settings from. If no filename is specified, the script default to WmiConf.txt. Note: The static IP address and WINS configuration are saved to separate files (StaticIP.txt and WINS.txt). You cannot choose the path or names for these files. If you wish restore these settings, the files must be in the same directory as the SavResDX.vbs script. |
/bdf | If you specify /bdf during a restore, the script attempts to restore the configuration based on the PCI Bus:Device:Function:Segment values of the saved configuration. If you removed, added, or moved a NIC to a different slot, this may result in the script applying the saved settings to a different device. Notes:
