I have searched through the ARDEN documentation and there appears to be no way to backup the node configuration to a PC. Is this something that be added as a feature in future builds? I've had a few times where I had to completely reconfigure a node. I keep a hard copy of each page of my config but restoring from a backup would be a great timesaver.

I don't know if this is what Orv was hinting, one way would be
> for node in localnode thisnode thatnode; do
> ssh $node.local.mesh -l root -p 2222 sysupgrade -b - > /where/ever/sysupgrade-b-$node.tar.gz
> done
(with appropriate ssh keys, YMMV, etc)
However, there's no easy way to (auto-)provision a node with an existing backup as far as I know.

Well, yes ... but I usually forget to manually back up things, so I prefer to automate that
(and anyway, it is always better to take 1hr to automate something than 5sec to press a button :-) )
Are backups created via the GUI compatible with 'sysupgrade -b'?
The backup file seems to be a gzipped tar?
