Restore

System / Backup / Restore

On the "Restore" page you can have all settings loaded completely to your FRITZ!Box from a backup file you created with this or another FRITZ!Box.

You can use the following backup files to do this:

  • backup files that were created with this FRITZ!Box
  • backup files that were created with a different FRITZ!Box of the same model or of another model

    If you apply settings from a backup file, the current settings of the FRITZ!Box will be overwritten! If you apply the telephone book, for instance, all telephone books already stored in the FRITZ!Box will be deleted. Exception: internet telephone numbers and port forwarding settings are not overwritten. If you apply internet telephone numbers and port forwarding settings, they will be added to the internet telephone numbers and port forwarding settings already configured.
