Backing Up and Restoring System Image Files Maintaining Configuration Files
Note The
file
commands apply to devices and files in the primary Control Module.
You cannot display, delete, or rename files in the backup Control Module. You
can, however, use the CLI
copy
command to copy configuration files from the
primary Control Module to the backup Control Module.
2.2 BACKING UP AND RESTORING SYSTEM IMAGE
FILES
When you boot up the system, the RS boots up the system image off the PC flash card. The PC flash card contains the
run-time image (the PC flash may store up to two images, depending on its capacity) and the startup configuration file.
It is recommended that a backup of the system image be stored on a central server in the unlikely event that the system
image becomes corrupted or deleted from the PC flash card. Use the
system set bootprom
command in Configure
mode to set parameters for the RS to boot the system image remotely over a network.
