Abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for managing configuration data for a system. In various embodiments, a chain description data set is generated to specify an order in a configuration chain of configurable devices in the system and identify configuration data sets associated with the configurable devices. A system identifier value is generated and associated with the chain description data set. An archive is generated including the configuration data sets, chain description data set, and system identifier value.
