1. Log on to SBC CLI. Execute the following command to save the SBC configuration.

   Example:

   admin@SBC01a> request system admin SBC01 saveConfig 
   This command will save the current configuration. Do you want to continue (yes/no) yes
   Proceeding
   result success
   reason Configuration Saved as /var/log/sonus/sbx/config/config_SBC01_20110824_021127.tar.gz
   

   This command saves the current configuration to a time-stamped zipped tar file located in /var/log/sonus/sbx/config directory of SBC active server.

2. Use SFTP (default login/password is sftpadmin/sftpadmin) to copy the configuration file from the active server to the remote server. Following is an example to transfer the saved configuration file to a remote linux server.

   Example:

   # sftp -oPort=2024 sftpadmin@SBC01a:/var/log/sonus/sbx/config/config_SBC01_20110824_021127.tar.gz /home/bob/SBC01/config
   sftpadmin@SBC01a's password: <sftpadmin>
   Connected to SBC01a.
   Fetching /var/log/sonus/sbx/config/config_SBC01_20110824_021127.tar.gz to /home/bob/SBC01/config

   The backup file created by this procedure is used to restore the system configuration if re-installation of the software is needed for any reason. To reload the configuration, see Restoring the SBC Configuration for guidance.
