Saving Data to a File

When you save host data to a file, the data is saved to a default directory and file name. Before you save a screen to a file, you can specify a different location and file name and choose one of the following save modes:

• Overwrite—Overwrites any existing data.
• Append—Adds the new data to the end of an existing file without overwriting any data.
