To create an automated backup of the configuration, do the following:

1. Run the command prompt as administrator.
2. Go to the utility directory by running the command:

   Code Block
   language shell
   ngpsh.exe backup backupJson [path_to_backup_folder] [node_name] [local] [shared] [license] [tickets]

   Parameters of the backupJson command:
