Backup of switch configurations

Can anyone tell me if switch configurations are backed up? More importantly, if I replace a switch,

will the configuration automatically be downloaded as long as I use the same LAN ip of the replaced

switch.

The configs are store in Meraki's cloud.  If you need to replace a switch you use the "clone" function to copy the config from the old to new switch.

What @PhilipDAth linked is the resource you need.  It doesn't matter if you set the same LAN address.  The switch just needs to be the same model.  Then you can clone the config.  The only things that don't clone are the switch name, address, IP address.  

 

Usually, when you are doing the switch replacement you'll also still have the old one in the dashboard to reference for a little bit if you need it.
