When virtual domain configuration is enabled (insystem global, vdom-admin is enabled), thecontent of the backup file depends on theadministrator account that created it.• A backup of the system configuration from the

super admin account contains the globalsettings and the settings for all of the VDOMs.Only the super admin can restore theconfiguration from this file.

• When you back up the system configurationfrom a regular administrator account, thebackup file contains the global settings and thesettings for the VDOM to which theadministrator belongs. Only a regularadministrator account can restore theconfiguration from this file.
