Configuration File Backup and Restoration
Introduction to Configuration File Backup and Restoration
Formerly, you can only back up and restore the configuration file of the units one by one in a fabric
system.
By using the configuration file backup and restoration feature, you can easily back up and restore the
configuration files in the whole fabric as well as in a specific unit.
In the backup process, the system first saves the current configuration of a unit to the startup
configuration file, and then uploads the file to the TFTP server. In the restore process, the system
downloads the startup configuration file from the TFTP server to the local unit.
The configurations of different units in the fabric system can be saved in different .cfg configuration files
on the TFTP server. These configuration files form the startup configuration of the whole fabric.
