Backup AP Configuration?

I was curious if there is a way to back up the config on our APs. I have set the restore point after they are configured within the AP itself but i was curious if there was a way to get this configuration off to keep as a backup on our server if that AP were to ever fail.

No such luck, AFAIK. Been wishing for that for a few years.

You can FTP to the AP as admin, and see the backups - one numbered folder under /restore for each backup, containing a variety of files:

ftp> pwd
257 “/restore/1” is current Directory 
ftp> ls
200 Port set 
125 Sending List 
drw-rw-rw-  1 owner group 000000 MAR 8 16:45 .

-rw-rw-rw-  1 owner group 000143 MAR 8 16:45 settings_diff.txt
drw-rw-rw-  1 owner group 000000 MAR 8 16:45 db
250 List End 
ftp> ls db

250 List End

The problem is this:

ftp> get settings.txt
local: settings.txt remote: settings.txt
