Go to SolutionBackup BIOS Settings?
Is there any way to save or backup the BIOS (setup) settings on a Dell Optiplex 9020 MT? Having come from self-builds using retail components, it seems odd to me that the BIOS would be so limited in that way. Seems like a natural option to have available.

Are you talking about just saving a copy of the current settings or being able to recover after a failed BIOS update or other corruption?
Dell only recently started storing a BIOS recovery file on the hard drive of some systems. Don't know if this model has that capability but I didn't see anything mentioned about it in the manual:

If you just want to document the current settings, take some digital photos of all the BIOS screens and store them on a USB stick.

OK, guys. Thanks. Pretty much what I figured, but felt I should ask to be sure.

CLUTCHC,
Unfortunately, there is no way to save or backup the bios.
