Configuration archive is a function that facilitates configuration rollback. It provides the manual and
automatic methods for saving the running configuration.
Automatic configuration archiving enables the system to automatically save the running configuration to
the archive directory. For more information about the archiving mechanism, see the section about
configuration rollback in
Fundamentals Configuration Guide
.
To ensure system performance, follow these guidelines:
•
If the device configuration does not change frequently, manually archive the running configuration
as needed.
•
If the device configuration changes frequently, configure automatic archiving with an interval longer
than 1440 minutes (24 hours).
•
Change the archiving interval depending on the available storage space. The shorter the interval,
the more free storage space is required.
Examples
# Configure the system to archive the running configuration every 1600 minutes.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] archive configuration interval 1600
Info: Archive files will be saved every 1600 minutes.
