Saving Configuration Files
Upon startup, the ACE loads the startup-configuration file stored in Flash memory
(nonvolatile memory) to the running-configuration file stored in RAM (volatile
memory). When you partition your ACE into multiple contexts, each context
contains its own startup-configuration file.
Flash memory stores the startup-configuration files for each existing context.
When you create a new context, the ACE creates a new context directory in Flash
memory to store the context-specific startup-configuration files. When you copy
a configuration file from the ACE, you create a copy of the configuration
information of the context from where you executed the command.
