# Configuring Cisco DCNM Web Client

Using Cisco DCNM Web Client, you can periodically start and backup the running configurations of a switch. You can also view backed-up configurations, schedule configuration backups, compare two backed-up configurations and copy a backed-up configuration.

Note You must configure a backup server with Admin/SFTP credentials to create a new backup job.

Beginning with Cisco DCNM Release 6.x, the backup for the LAN configuration are also supported and the backup is skipped for the all the switches where there are no configuration changes.

This section includes the following topics:

• Viewing a Configuration

• Comparing Configurations

• Copying a Configuration

• Configuring Jobs

• Storage Media Encryption

• Configuring Templates
