Note: Backing up and restoring with superclusters
You can (and should) create and download backups from clusters that are part of a supercluster, but
you can’t restore a cluster while it’s part of a supercluster. You must manually leave the supercluster
first. If the cluster is responsible for any territories (as primary or backup), go to Network > Site
Topology > Territories and reassign those territories.
If you restore a cluster using the USB Configuration Utility while it’s part of a supercluster, it’s
automatically removed from the supercluster.
