Saving and restoring FRITZ!Box telephone books
The interface allows you to save the local FRITZ!Box telephone books. Then you can always use the backup to restore your telephone book, which means you are protected against data loss. Telephone books can also be copied from one FRITZ!Box to another, for example when switching to a different FRITZ!Box model.
Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
