backup 665
Archive files created by the all option are larger than files created by the
critical option. The file size depends on the files in the user area, and the
file can be quite large if the user area contains image files.
The backup command places the boot configuration file into the archive.
(The boot configuration file is the Configured boot configuration in the
display boot command’s output.) If the running configuration contains
changes that have not been saved, these changes are not in the boot
configuration file and are not archived. To make sure the archive contains
the configuration that is currently running on the switch, use the
save config command to save the running configuration to the boot
configuration file, before using the backup command.
Examples — The following command creates an archive of the
system-critical files and copies the archive directly to a TFTP server. The
filename in this example includes a TFTP server IP address, so the archive is
not stored locally on the switch.
