Included on the appliance are a number of command-line administrative tools for saving and restoring configuration data:
Config Backup Tool—Saves the current configuration file
Config Restore Tool—Restores a saved configuration file
The AMC method for saving and restoring configuration data is more convenient, but it imports and exports a subset of the data that can be saved and restored using the command-line tools. the AMC method vs. command-line tools table compares the two methods.
| Configuration item | AMC | Command-line tools |
