# How can I use the Backup function?

Using this function, you can generate a backup file containing the configuration and logs of one or more readers by clicking the Backup button in the lower right corner (or pressing Alt+B). This feature is only available if at least one device is selected.

Clicking the Open Backup Folder button navigates to the folder where the backup files are placed. You can set the folder under Home->Options->Backup Location.

If multiple devices are selected, each device generates a backup file. Each backup file is put in a subfolder that matches the name of the device. Backup file name contains the device name and date of generation.

The backup file is a .zip file with a .dmb extension. The file contains: config.cdc, config.cfg, and descriptor.xml. The xml contains the following data:

1. Date

2. Discovery ID

3. Device name

4. Device type

5. Serial number

6. MAC address

7. Feature Keys

8. Communication interface

9. Firmware version

10. List of files present in the zip
