File

and the trace log.

10.2 Backup Configuration
The Prestige displays different messages explaining different ways to backup,
restore and upload files in menus 24.5, 24.6, 24. 7.1 and 24.7.2 when you use the
serial/console port and when you telnet in.
Option 5 from
Menu 24 — System Maintenance
allows you to backup the current Prestige configuration to
your computer. Backup is highly recommended once your Prestige is functioning properly. FTP and TFTP
are the preferred methods for backing up your current configuration to your computer since FTP and TFTP
are faster. You can also perform backup and restore using menu 24 through the console port. Any serial
communications program should work fine; however, you must use Xmodem protocol to perform the
download/upload and you don’t have to rename the files (see
section 10.1
).
Please note that terms “download” and “upload” are relative to the computer. Download means to transfer
from the Prestige to the computer, while upload means from your computer to the Prestige.
