1.2.5 Backing up/Restoring the Configuration File for Next Startup
I. Backup/restore function overview
The backup/restore function allows you to backup or restore a configuration file for next
startup through operations at the CLI. TFTP is used for intercommunication between
the device and the server. The backup function enables you to backup a configuration
file to the TFTP server, while the restore function enables you to download the
configuration file from the TFTP server for next startup.
