Saving Configuration Data
Backup files are saved to a compressed aea file (by default, /var/backups/cfgback.tgz). It is a good
practice to back up your system regularly, especially when making many system customizations.
To back up your configuration using Backup Tool
-
Connect to the appliance using SSH or a serial connection, and log in as
root. -
Type
config_backup, specifying any of the following optional parameters:config_backup [-f <tarfile>] [-q] [-d <debuglevel>] [-h]
| Parameter | Description |
-f <tarfile>
|
Backs up your configuration to the specified file. This parameter is required
only if you want to back up to a different backup file than the default file: Setting this parameter is not recommended, because the restore program normally looks for the default file when restoring. |
-q
|
Turns off the confirmation prompts (making the backup “quiet”). Normally, you are prompted when you might overwrite an existing backup file. |
-d <debuglevel>
|
Specifies how much information to display about the backup operation. Set
<debuglevel> to an integer between 0 (no information) and 10
(complete information). The default is 1 (normal information). |
-h
|
Shows help listing available parameters. |
When you run Config Backup Tool, it saves your system configuration files to a backup file with the name and
location specified above. If a backup file already exists at that location, you are prompted to confirm that you
want to overwrite it (unless you use the -q parameter).
Your configuration is automatically backed up if you install a new system update using Update Tool. This will not overwrite manual backups created by an administrator.
For additional protection, use a program like SCP to copy the .tgz file from the appliance to a separate
location, such as a drive on your network or removable media.
You can automate backups by adding Backup Tool to a script. In this case, use the -q parameter to suppress
confirmation prompts.
