A UniFi Cloud Key is a handy device to have on hand in case of an emergency. If something happens to your primary UniFi Controller, you can use the Cloud Key to take over operation of your network. However, if something happens to your Cloud Key, your network will go down. This is why it’s important to have a backup plan for your Cloud Key.
One way to create a backup of your Cloud Key is to export the configuration. This will create a file that contains all of your Cloud Key’s settings. You can then store this file on a USB drive or other storage device. If something happens to your Cloud Key, you can import the configuration file to a new Cloud Key and get your network back up and running.
Another way to create a backup of your Cloud Key is to create a clone. This will create an exact copy of your Cloud Key, including all of your settings and data. You can then store the clone on a USB drive or other storage device. If something happens to your Cloud Key, you can install the clone on a new Cloud Key and get your network back up and running.
No matter which method you choose, it’s important to back up your Cloud Key regularly. This will help ensure that your network stays up and running in the event of an emergency.
