Hi,

 

 

From the console port you can log in using the maintenance account. This will bring up a CLI menu. From this menu you can go into Option 1 to do a full box reset. This should clear all your config out.

 

 

Once you've done that you can use the backup/restore function to backup your prod config and copy it over to the second box. A word of warning though - the second box should be the same hardware as the first and run the same software version including hotfixes otherwise the restore process might'n work as expected.

 

 

Cheers,
