WR841N System Tools menu does not have Backup & Restore and certain other entries

I have two WR841N both with the same hardware and firmware:
Model = TL-WR841N(EU)
Hardware Version = TL-WR841N v13 00000013 [SIZE=2]
Firmware Version = 0.9.1 4.16 v0001.0 Build 171019 Rel.55346n (which is the latest for the EU model from https://www.tp-link.com/au/download/TL-WR841N_V13.html#Firmware [/SIZE] as at 2018/03/25 [SIZE=2])
although they differ in configuration:
Operation Mode #1 = Hotspot Router
Operation Mode #2 = Wireless Router
My issue is that the "System Tools" menu does not have a "Backup & Restore" option - see attached screenshot.

Section 5.16.5 "Backup & Restore" of the document "User Guide 300Mbps Wireless N Router TL-WR841N" ([FONT=courier new]1910012221_TL-WR841N(EU)(US)_V13_UG.pdf) describes this option for "Hotspot Router Mode". It also describes Firmware Upgrade, Factory Defaults and Password options, which are also missing from my System Tools menu.

I have done configuration backups on other TP-Link wireless routers before. From memory, I have done configuration backups on these units before, but possibly with earlier firmware versions and/or different Operation Modes.
Does anyone know of any circumstances in which the Backup & Restore, Firmware Upgrade, Factory Defaults and Password menu options are intentionally not offered and/or whether this is a known issue?
