# Base Backup

Base configuration backup file keeping in Aranet Cloud is implemented in Aranet Pro/Pro+ with firmware version 3.1.2 and Aranet Cloud v1.7.26. 

Aranet Pro/Pro+ must be registered to the active Aranet Cloud workspace. The base sends a backup file to the Aranet Cloud once per day when any changes in the base configuration or sensors list are made. Up to 10 latest backup files are visible to the user. 

The **BASE STATIONS** page displays the registered bases list:

Clicking on the base opens the base's card, where all received files are under **BACKUPS** tab:

If the base firmware doesn't have at least firmware version 3.1.2, a special message is displayed:

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://forum.aranet.com/site/assets/files/4076/ac_backup_03.jpg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Backup files are allowed for downloading to Users with "Base stations" ***write*** permission:

The needed backup file can be downloaded and used for Aranet Pro/Pro+ base reverting to previous state or base cloning.

Login to Aranet Pro/Pro+ web interface and navigate to SYSTEM menu -> BACKUP tab:

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/NKrE6tem0V9VHIsnA49f" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Then click on **IMPORT BACKUP** button and locate the downloaded file. You will be asked for the password to confirm the import.

Depending on the difference between the current configuration settings and the imported ones, you can lose connection to the base. If you have trouble recalling a previous base's IP address, use any network scanner to find it or complete the **Network reset** procedure to restore default network settings (see p.3 in the [Connection Issues](/aranet-cloud-page/aranet-cloud-landing-page/base-management/connection-issues.md) page).
