Menu path: System > Update > Snapshots > Upload

Here you can create a snapshot of the current system.

  • Name of firmware for new snapshot: This name will appear in in its own field in UMS.
  • Leave domain before snapshot: Enable this option if the snapshot file is to be ported to another thin client.

     The thin client will be taken from the domain before the snapshot is created.

     The thin client will remain in the domain.

  • Protocol: Protocol with which the snapshot file is uploaded to a server or saved in a local directory.
    Possible values:
    • File: The snapshot file will be saved locally, e.g. on a USB storage device.

    A local storage device must be NTFS-formatted. It needs to have 32 GB of free space. USB hard drvies, which Windows does not recognize as 'removable media', cannot be used for this purpose.
    • SMB: The snapshot file will be saved to a Windows network drive.
    • HTTP: The snapshot file will be saved to a WebDAV server (e.g. UMS).
    • HTTPS: The snapshot file will be saved to a WebDAV server (e.g. UMS) with transport encryption.
