Storing Backups to a Remote TFTP Server

To create a backup configuration file named

backup1 and to copy that backup file

to another file named

back1.xml, located on the TFTP host, tftpserver1, in the

default directory, /tftpboot:

1. enable — Enter Administrator mode.

2. save all backup1

— Save the current running configuration to a file

called

backup1 in the savedconfig directory.

3. copy savedconfig: backup1 tftp://tserver1/

back1.xml

— Copy the saved configuration file,

backup1, to a file called

back1.xml, located on the TFTP server, tserver1, in the default directory.

Note:

The back1.xml file must already exist in the default directory with the

appropriate permissions that allow it to be overwritten. You cannot create a new file

using TFTP.

Restoring from Backups

AAA authentication information, SCSI routing instances, access lists, VLANs,
and selected system configuration data can be restored from previously saved
configuration files. You may choose to restore selected data such as a specific
SCSI routing instance, or all data, using the restore command with the from
keyword.

The file from which configuration is restored must reside in the savedconfig
directory (/ata3/savedconfig). If you need to restore configuration data
from a backup file existing elsewhere in the network, use the copy command to
make the desired file available in the savedconfig directory.

Restoring configuration data copies all or part of the contents of the specified file
into persistent memory; it does not always change the storage router's running
configuration. For example, the configuration of a restored SCSI routing instance
may only be completely visible via the show scsirouter command using the
from bootconfig

keywords, until the instance has been restarted.
