Use the Backup and Restore from Backup procedures to:
- Capture deployment-specific configuration settings of an device.
Thebackup
andrestore
commands save and restore all the configuration settings of the device components, including the settings for Gateway, Router, and functions. - Restore the configuration settings as part of the Performing Software Upgrades and Performing Disaster Recovery.
Use the Disaster Recovery procedures when an device suffers a partial or complete failure and must be replaced as a whole unit.
Tip
When executing commands for a backup or recovery, remember you can always enter the CLI sys-tools help
command. The response gives a list of available commands with the proper syntax and a brief explanation of each command.
